iPad RAM list: Here’s how much memory every iPad model has

Curious how much RAM Apple has put in its different iPads or how much memory your current iPad has? While the company doesn’t publicly share the information, memory details show up in teardowns and through other sources. Follow along for a look at the full iPad RAM list for how much memory comes with every iPad model.

Apple doesn’t publish or put any focus on iPad RAM for several reasons. One of the biggest is iPad performance outpaces the competition like Android tablets and even some PCs with less RAM. Apple can do that as it makes both the hardware and software and precisely fine-tunes its devices to perform as efficiently and powerfully as possible. Instead of focusing on specs as much as other companies, Apple focuses on what its iPads can do.

However, in contrast to its iPhones, Apple uses different RAM on its higher-end iPads depending on how much storage it has. For example, 1TB or higher iPad Pro models come with 16 GB RAM while any iPad Pro with 512 GB or less storage has 8 GB RAM.
