Tears Flow as MacBook M4 Rumors Suggest Upcoming RAM Boost to 16GB

MacBook’s RAM starting at 8GB has been a persistent issue, especially when Apple claimed that 8GB is equivalent to 16GB on other systems before its AI feature on Xcode requires a minimum of 16GB.

Recently, Mark Gurman, a reliable source, reported that the new MacBook models using M4 will all come with a minimum of 16GB RAM, with options for 8-core and 10-core CPUs (6-core power-efficient, 4-core performance). It’s possible that Apple might increase the pricing due to the added RAM.
