Hundreds of GBs of RAM in a phone is just ~6 years away if Moore's law holds. It's also likely that memory requirements will be shrunk through software and ML improvements.
- AgentOrange1234 4y agoI don’t think RAM on phones has been increasing exponentially? For good reason — it uses a lot of power.
- pornel 4y agoIt has been increasing. In iPhones went from 128MB to 6GB, and there are Android phones with 18GB now. RAM hasn't been increasing as steeply as it could, but if there's a strong use-case for it, it may happen. Also consider that Apple is in control of the whole chipset and software, so they could implement things like turning the extra RAM on only during ML computation.
