Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 series has been in the news for the past few months, revealing some key details about the upcoming flagship phones. A few key details about the Apple iPhone 14 series are already known and some more details have surfaced online.

In a new report, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that unlike the smartphones from Apple launched so far, the upcoming iPhone 14 models and iPhone 14 Pro models will have drastically different specifications.

Kuo claims that the upcoming Apple A16 Bionic processor will be powering only the Pro models of the iPhone 14 series, i.e. iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max while the regular models, i.e. iPhone 14 and 14 Max will have the Apple A15 Bionic processor.

Further, the upcoming lineup will have 6GB of RAM, which is an improvement when compared to the current-generation iPhones that have 4GB of RAM. However, the Pro models in the iPhone 14 series will have LPDDR5 RAM while the standard models will keep using the LPDDR4X RAM.

Earlier it was reported that the Pro models will come with a dual pill-shaped punch-hole cutout on top of the screen for housing the front-facing camera while the regular models will continue to have a notch.

Usually, the Pro and non-Pro models of the iPhones don’t have these many differences in terms of the core specifications but this year, Apple appears to be experimenting with significantly different core internals for the iPhone models. To know for sure how much of this is true, we will have to wait for the official launch event later this year.

The official spec sheets for the OnePlus 8T and OnePlus 9R says both phones ship with LPDDR4X RAM. While that may have been true for the several thousand units sold, that appears to no longer be the case.

A new report says some users have discovered that their OnePlus 8T and OnePlus 9R phones ship with the faster LPDDR5 RAM. The info comes from XDA Developers who have been able to confirm the info.

The change in RAM type was discovered by some users who tried to unbrick their phones using the MSMDownloadTool which doesn’t work with LPDDR5 RAM. While there is now a solution available for those with the faster RAM variant, the fact is that OnePlus is now selling both phones with a faster RAM than their spec sheet says.

You definitely won’t be able to tell before purchase if you will be getting the OnePlus 8T or OnePlus 9R with LPDDR4X RAM or LPDDR5 RAM. However, if you own one already, there is an easy way to find out the type of RAM the device has. XDA Developers says you have to run the command below if you have ADB installed on your PC:

adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type

If it returns a “0”, you have the LPDDR4X RAM variant while “1” means you have LPDDR5 RAM.

The OnePlus 9R and OnePlus 8T are very closely related. The two major differences between them are the design and processor. So on both devices, you get a 6.55-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED screen, 48MP+16MP+5MP+2MP quad rear cameras, a 16MP front-facing camera, a 4500mAh battery capacity, and support for 65W fast charging. The OnePlus 8T has a Snapdragon 865 processor while the OnePlus 9R is powered by the more powerful Snapdragon 870.
