Which does nothing to the original topic. I mean let's say as some suggest add double the ram. Then it will still happen in those circumstances. I don't see anything particularly unusual about this.
Got a tip for us?

Are new iphones starting to lag due to 1GB of RAM?

On a side note, being a part time software dev myself, I know that we can write code that can run several times faster on the same machine without changing a tad of the hardware. But guess what, we don't!
Because upgrading the hardware isn't nearly as expensive as having programmers code better quality and high-performance software. There's always a push to instead finish the code ASAP, so managers can get their "well deserved promotions".

Yeah I mean so Safari stuttered when you closed it. So? Or it crashed while trying to load a video. So? Load it again.
As long as it doesn't happen regularly it's not the end of the world. If it happened a lot and hindered your use then yeah complain all you want. I would too.
My response to this is "because I paid $850 for the thing". It really shouldnt be doing those things. If my car sputtered some at a full stop every 20th time I drove it with less than a couple thousand miles on it I would also be upset. Is it the end of the world then? Absolutely not. Should it be happening? No.
That's a cop out response. It's also been the go to Apple user response since anyone ever complained about anything way back before ios was even called ios.
I mentioned the reason I am so disappointed is because of the track record apple has had with every iOS device I've had prior. It's been flawless. The 5s we have even runs better than my 6 plus (in this particular example).
For the record I do also use android daily. It's got its strengths and weaknesses (which I also tend to talk about in the appropriate forum).
Because its the consumers responsibility to come up with solutions to defects in products they buy?
Responses like that is why I'm on of the last few people of all my friends and family to still be using an iPhone. Their solution....buy something that works better for them.
TLC NAND performances are in many cases better than MLC .
Please stop this silly hysteria about TLC based on nothing.
Exactly. There's windows phone, android, etc etc.
If you don't like iPhone use one of those. Simple.
iPhones are meant to last 2 years. whether it be the CPU, RAM, GPU, storage, build quality, something will hold it behind after 2 years.
1gb will last 2 years.
1gb will last 2 years.
My browsing experience is great. I don't have any issues, but as someone else pointed out earlier, I am not a "power user."
I surf the web on my phone like I do at home..maximum of two tabs open and only when I need two tabs. So, these RAM issues just don't have any impact on my user experience.
I guess I never knew there were so many people who have to have all these tabs open on their phone.

iOS is not concipated to keep countless tabs open. It never has been.
For work like that I just use a real Mac.
I just opened 9 tabs and went back and forth thru them very quickly. I don't doubt some users have issues on all phones. When you produce millions of an item, not all will be perfect. There is no issue for me with 1gb as there is none for the majority of users.
Sure there is. Write to Apple and complain.
Meanwhile while typing this... (See pic, too perfect)

So it isn't a smartphone then, just an expensive toy? If we can't do extensive web browsing on a 6+ or any iPad except the Air 2 then they're of precious little use to me. My main issue is that the two generations older iPhone 5 reloads apps and browser tabs MUCH less often than the current 6+. Seriously, how bad is that??
Then complain. And I guess wait till they fix it. But that's all you can do really unless you want to switch to windows android razr gophone etc
Did you come out of Safari to answer a call, send an SMS, or open an app.....and then go back to your browser tabs?
Funny that I've been browsing just fine for the last 2.5 decades
6+ suffer the most with the bigger screen but same ram
