It’s unlikely that you’ll run out of memory if you have a top-of-the-line iPhone that comes with up to 512GB of storage, but not everyone has one. Since every iPhone comes packed with music, photos, videos, and apps, owners of models with 16GB, 32GB, or even 64GB of storage may eventually run out of memory.
Increase Your iPhone Storage: Is iCloud+ Worth It?
Many Android devices offer expandable memory, allowing their owners to increase the storage capacity of their phone. But those are Android devices; what about iPhones? Can you upgrade the memory on your iPhone?
In order to answer whether you can expand your iPhone memory, it is important to understand what type of memory you are talking about. There are two types of memory used by mobile devices: storage for your data (Flash storage) and memory chips (RAM) that the device uses while running the operating system and apps.
This article discusses expanding your iPhone’s storage. There are no options for upgrading the RAM. To do that, you would have to have memory that fits in the iPhone, open up the iPhone, and remove and replace the electronics inside the phone. Even if you have the hardware and skills, doing so would void the iPhone’s warranty and expose it to damage. Obviously, this is risky at best and destructive at worst. Don’t do it.
