Apple

I’ve got a 12. I bought it when it was last year’s model so it’s a couple of years old now.

I was just wondering does anyone actually multitask on these phones? These being the older ones with only 4 gigs of ram like the base 12 and 13.

I don’t really multitask, I use one app at a time usually - but every so often when I have to switch between, even only 2 apps, half of the time the app in the background will have been lost and reloaded. I’d then have redo all the steps i had done to get to that section of the app e.g re-search and re-apply the individual filters on Ebay. It’s kinda infuriating.

Is multitasking reserved only for the pro level iPhones, or something? I know iPhones are supposed to be more ram efficient but I’ve used androids with twice the ram before and I would not say they are equivalent. It doesn’t seem to be a problem on the higher level androids, you can hold whatever in the memory.

The ram efficiencies don’t seem to make up for the actual lack of ram.
