That number can't possibly be right. Even the most high-end iPhones "only" have 6GB, the rest max out at 4GB and that only recently. And I highly doubt that iOS will let you play with 5GB even on a 6GB device.
- neurostimulant 4y agoSeems to be the ceiling only applicable to certain device, like iPad Pro which can have 16GB ram. Devices with smaller ram may send out low memory warning at much lower value.

- simjnd 4y agoI think I remember reading some time ago that an iOS app could use about 60% of the total memory (that would be 3GB for a 5GB iPhone). But on some devices (16GB M1/M2 iPad Pro) you can go beyond 60%.
- doublepg23 4y agoI’m pretty sure the memory limit was 4GB until very recently too.
