No mention of the amount of onboard RAM. (In this press release or in https://www.apple.com/iphone-17e/specs/.)
Going back to the 2007, Apple doesn’t reveal the amount of RAM for the iPhone in their marketing.
Occasionally there’s a feature that requires a minimum amount of RAM like Apple Intelligence but that’s the exception.
I don't blame them, consumers won't exactly follow the nuance of tracing garbage collectors and why iOS can get away with less ram vs Android
Assuming it has Apple INtelligence, 8 gigs seems plausible?
Every phone since the iPhone 15 Pro has the minimum 8GB to accommodate Apple Intelligence.
