His comments about iOS not having virtual memory are incorrect, but I rarely if ever have the issues he’s talking about, but maybe it’s because I have only used iPad Pro’s or iPhone Plus/Max devices in recent years which have more memory.
I regularly have dozens of tabs open and only reopening a tab that hasn’t been visited in some time results in a refresh.
- ken 7y agoI have an iPad Mini (iOS 9). Two modern webpages is definitely enough to put it over the top and reload each page when you switch between them. Sometimes even a single webpage will reload for no apparent reason. It's generally true that memory issues seem to go away if you throw enough extra RAM at it. Similarly, I recently upgraded from a GT120 (0.5GB) to an RX580 (8GB), and miraculously, my Mac no longer crashes when I switch spaces quickly.
