It is impossible to increase the amount of RAM or internal storage in your iPhone - as this is fixed during manufacture; what you have is fixed for the life of your device.  You can subscribe to a higher tier of iCloud storage - but this is not a substitute for internal system resources.

Oh, I didn’t know that. Thx for the info tho. I do wish iPhone 14 would work also, bc I like the lightning cable better than type c.

You're welcome. Lightning cable is no more and won't ever return. USB C is the standard around the world and works quite well.

It is true that the lighting cable has been replaced by USB-C. Many governments enacted rules to have a single charging standard to reduce landfill waste.

As for a speed comparison, here are a couple comparisons:

USB-C cables typically offer faster charging speeds compared to Lightning cables. USB-C supports a maximum current of 3A with the possibility of going up to 5A, while Lightning cables max out at 2.4A. Fast charging on iPhones usually requires a USB-C to Lightning cable and at least a 20W power adapter. Overall, USB-C is better for fast charging.

USB-C offers a higher power delivery rate than Lightning and delivers a faster charge under the same voltage. Whereas Lightning supports a maximum current of 2.4A, USB-C carries 3A with support for up to 5A. This distinction makes USB-C much better for fast charging, as it supports the USB Power Delivery fast-charging standard.

There is absolutely no basis in fact on your belief. A lightning cable was nothing more than a proprietary cable, which could only be used on iPhone or other Apple devices. USB C is no less capable of charging an iPhone in any way, shape or form.

I'm sorry. I wasn't aware I was supposed to take your challenge as homework. I am aware that USB-C is capable of faster charging speeds and probably should have said so. Mr. Hoffman however, did your homework assignment, so he certainly deserves your praise.

Ok now with that out of the way, I still have some more questions about the iPhone 15. How much better is the camera than the 14? What is the size of the 15 compared to the 14? And lastly where would I be able to trade in my iPhone XS for an iPhone 15? And would I be able to?

Same here. Did it fix?

I have an iphone 15 pro and i was previously able to use apple intelligence and could see the new siri UI but i just updated to ios 18.2 and i can’t anymore. I can still see the Apple intelligence option but it doesn’t have chatgpt in it anymore. My siri has switched to the older version. I tried restarting the phone many times. What should i do?

iPhone 15 can't run Apple Intelligence. Only iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max and all iPhone 16 models can run Apple Intelligence.

You're welcome.

Ohh I see.. Thank you very much

You're very welcome!

I have iphone 16 plus but i dont have apple intelligence in my phone.
