Even as Apple has always put the crappiest components into the iPhone, it 
wasn't the UK or EU this time that forced Apple to use better RAM lately.

It was AI.

The good news is "Last month, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the iPhone 17 
Air and both iPhone 17 Pro models will all be equipped with an increased 
12GB of RAM. He said that Apple was still deciding on 8GB or 12GB of RAM 
for the iPhone 17 base model at that time, and if Pu's information is 
accurate, the company has settled on 8GB for the device."

Finally, the era of pitiful RAM in Apple iPhones is starting to be over.
