iphone 7+/8+ extra RAM usage over 6+

Hi all


I have a launch 6+ that is now getting a bit long in the tooth


It only has 1gb of RAM


Does anyone know if the 7+/8+ with it's 3gb can hold more/multiple apps in memory for longer or is it just used for multiple safari tabs etc


Thanks

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 11

Manage your photo and video storage - Apple Support or How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support, safari pages have significant amount of ram usage when running in the background or https://www.sandisk.com/connectenables wifi alternative storage but needs wifi connection to transfer content. So the early suggestion is directed to storage issues. In general, your iOS will need significant storage to function without freezing.

Thanks


The main reason for the question is that I use the podcast app a lot in the car via the 'ipod' interface either via cable or bluetooth


When I use the phone during the day for other thing and get back in the car the podcast app has unloaded

How do you know that it's unloaded? Are you saying it works fine in the morning? I'd experiment around and see if you can resolve now. I'd force quit the app when you unplug it from the car. When you plug the app back in to the car, this will force the app to reload into ram. See if this does anything.


I'd re-post this post as a new question. The issue is your getting tizz when you reconnect your iphone to your car. It's not about how much ram you have.
