The value is in having multiple apps stored in memory. I think the average person multitasks more on their phone compared to a PC. Things like having a lot of tabs open. Messaging applications, music streaming etc. It's not required. But instant switching between apps is a nice user experience. In the same way a 120Hz monitor is a nicer experience but 60Hz is perfectly reasonable. I don't think it's fair to compare iOS to Android. Android is quite a bit heaver. I remember reading a quote from someone at Nvidia saying that hardware is much easier to change than software. And at the end of the day, as consumers we should demand more for our money. Phone's aren't getting cheaper.
