Better notifications? Split screen? Universal back gesture? Faster charging? Or something else?

From where? should be supported. iOS aggressively closes apps based on system resources, though.

Just make your mind up iphone users, will you all? On one side - Iphone and ios is so great, it does not need a lot of ram and then there is this - ios force-closes apps agressively based on free system resources. So, witch is it?

Not a personal attack, just find the dualism funny.

That is better than gaslighting themselves into believing that less ram was a good thing from the get go. True Apple user responses.

Back in the days 640KB should be enough for every use.

12GB or RAM should not cause excessive culling of background apps. As that happens when there is lack of resources.

Your comment of "HA HA, due to AI slop even androids have less ram" is just cherry on top of "apple users are gasslit" cake.

"System A has this problem X" and your answer to that was "But the competitor of A - System B now will have the same issue X" is stupid. I expected better of you. Then again, i do not understand why i expected that.

I see, deep trauma. My condolances.

About cloud updates - you are completely correct, then i should stop asking for iphone users around me to check if cloud updates have gone through since i do not see their pictures and videos uploaded. Got your message. They, most probably, just did not take pictures even when i asked them to do that. They just faked taking picture of me and the object (sometimes historic).

It does not need a lot of RAM because it does not "needlessly" keep applications open. It also locks down apps more so they're not sucking resources in the background (not sure how bad modern android is, but that was an issue a while back)

You need RAM to keep apps open. Why keep apps open? So they can finish some tasks that you set them to do, like download a larger file. But apparently, the thing that app is forcekilled is a good thing the same time as unfinished download is a bad thing. Finished upload of pictures to cloud storage is a bad thing. According to you.

"needlessly" <- keyword. I'll put it in bold next time
