I don't think you are correct. Anyone* who goes back two apps and finds it
reloads might say "I wish this iPhone had more RAM".

That person was unlikely to understand that the reason was the limited
amount of RAM so they would not wish for more RAM.

What is wrong with you mpmi people? I reinstate my asterisked footnote here
for your reading pleasure.

"*who knows about RAM, forced shutdown etc etc yes thankyou pedants."

You misunderstand me. I agree that a user would definitely benefit from
more RAM in order to have multiple apps open at once and when doing
multi-tasking.

But the typical user is not going to be aware that the reason that they
are having issues is the small amount of RAM in their iPhone. They will
complain about the issues but have no idea why they are occurring.

The lowest priced ($399), smallest, currently available, Samsung Galaxy
S series phone, the S10E has 6GB of RAM in the 128GB ROM version. A
large amount of RAM is needed for proper multi-tasking on Android. I've
seen a lot of recent articles trying to compare the new SE to various
Android models, but they miss the point. The new SE is a mid-range phone
while similarly priced Android phones are flagship phones.

Hi Steve,

FACTS:
o Facts: *How does RAM memory management truly compare*
*between Android & iOS devices*
(the facts, not unsupported marketing claims)
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/cR7GdXT1Nxg/PmqqJnVVBAAJ

*The 6GB S10e has an OVERWHELMING advantage over the 3GB iPhone 2020 SE.*
o And that's _before_ the inevitable throttling in half of the iPhone SE.

o *Apple iPhone SE (2020) vs Samsung Galaxy S10e*
https://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Apple-iPhone-SE-2020,Samsung-Galaxy-S10e/phones/10750,11114

That restates the obvious since most Apple owners only believe the
Marketing bull**** where they're utterly _immune_ to simple basic facts.

We covered this in detail already, where the _best_ that iOS can claim
(under cherry picked circumstances we've discussed with nospam) is
single-digit percentages of efficiency (and only in those cherry picked
circumstances).

The aforementioned Samsung S30e has triple-digit percentages more RAM over
the iPhone 2020 SE.

Nothing can compensate for that huge advantage in terms of what RAM does.
o More RAM is better and lots more RAM is lots better (to a point).

FACTS:

We covered what that point is, but it's way more than 3GB RAM.
o Does a smartphone really need 8GB of RAM
(the author says if you need 8GB to 12GB of RAM, get a Windows laptop)
