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.

Multitasking doesn’t really exist in iPhone not in the standard definition of it anyway. Plus it doesn’t hold internet connection for a lot of them anyway if you’re out for more than a few seconds. They really need to overhaul this
