Is 3GB RAM enough for iOS?
Trust us, the 3GB of RAM is enough to keep up with the phone’s fast A13 Bionic chip. Really, you should be able to get comparable performance as the far more expensive iPhone 11 smartphones with the second-generation iPhone SE. After all, these devices are powered by the very same chip.
Why do iPhones need less RAM?
Whereas Android memory is handled by the operating system, iOS memory is handled by the apps themselves. Instead of allowing apps to take up as much RAM as they want and freeing it when no longer in use, iOS apps automatically allocate and de-allocate memory as needed.
Does RAM matter in iOS?
Yes, it does. Like Android phones, iPhones need RAM to manage the running of various processes and apps. But iOS (the iPhone’s operating system) doesn’t need as much RAM as Android.
