Considering how efficiently they utilize that "low on paper" RAM, I'm not complaining.
All the Apple iDevices I have contains comical amounts of RAM compared to other devices, yet they still can handle tons of tasks despite their age. While I'm pretty picky about RAM in my computers, I can't care less as long as my other iDevices works as advertised.

- bayindirh 1y agoEven my "ancient" iPhone X does it so rarely, I don't lose any context. Even if it's happening more frequently than I notice, the apps also restore their contents. macOS supports context restoration for 7-8 years now at least. iOS has inherited that soon after, so any application "killed", they SHOULD return to the state they exited, given they are implemented correctly.
- qn9n 1y agoPretty sure they just use compressed memory and swap for apps that haven't been used in a while, similar to macOS.
- formerphotoj 1y agoYup, 64GB iPhone 11 Pro still going strong. A wee bit slow however, so...a new 17? Have to upgrade eventually.
