Exceeding 2gb of ram in your desktop 10 years ago had limited benefits, now that's about a minimum computers ship with and even 4gb can be insufficient.
More memory and better processors makes phones more useful to the extent they are now trending towards becoming full-featured desktop computers themselves, the extra ram isn't for "today's app ecosystem" it's breathing space against a more demanding generation of apps and usage.
- replete 11y agoI'm kind of with you on this. 6-8GB RAM for modern development has been more than enough for most requirements for at least 5 years. From my point of view, 2GB on an android smartphone seems to be a similar amount. Some interesting points raised above about heaps.
