These claims from the developer are in line with the information that came from the trustworthy KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The analyst suggested that the two larger models among the three devices lined up for tomorrow's launch will have 3GB RA and that the smaller one will continue to employ 2GB RAM as in the previous models.

Kuo stated that the DRAM transfer speed in the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will be faster than that of the last year's iPhone 7 by 10% to 15% in order to enable better AR performance. However, the same is yet to be confirmed by the company.
