If I were you I never would! Skip the crappy joke OS iOS 13 and go straight to iOS 14, if history repeats itself with iOS 11 and 12 then that’s Apples MO, release a disaster of a mess of an OS one year, then release a giant patch that fixes it the next, rinse and repeat...
Got a tip for us?

I’ve noticed this as well and it’s driving me nuts. I have an iPhone XR, yesterday I only had the music app open and Safari. Before I left to use the subway I opened up two articles I wanted to read. Got onto the subway to read the article, switched from music to safari and it immediately reloaded both and said “no internet”. My phone never used to do that. This is the worst version of iOS I’ve used since 11.
The problem with software development is that you aren't re-writing the codebase every major iOS release. Every one builds upon the next and keeps adding to the total lines of code. iOS 14 won't solve the bugs in iOS 14 unless their main focus is to rewrite / cleanup lots of the code and focus on simplifying the codebase. Otherwise a major OS is nothing but a lot of minor updates bundles into one big update and calling it a new major release. They need to shift focus and keep the software lean and running well, otherwise the problems will only get worse.
Correct..
It's patching and adding to existing problems and patches and fixes and tweaks..
If the foundation is not great, the structure on top won't get better by building higher and wider.
Isn’t jail breaking now like a neon sign over your house inviting lowlife to a party?
Hmm.. It's a pretty damned good party if you ask me..
But - you win - You're not invited over, sorry..
Wasn’t the code base largly rewritten at 11? Hence the new, irritating randomness in all the built in apps?
That changes the whole tone of the message, not as much fun. ;-)

That's as much Adobe's fault as it is Apple's. Apple's own dev guidelines say that an app should expect to be killed any time without warning and should constantly save user data to "disk" (flash) as the user makes changes.
Not saying this isn't a serious problem with iOS 13 but this SHOULD NOT result in data loss if apps are written correctly.
That policy alone makes iOS hard to take seriously for real work.
All I know is every year Apple came out with a new iPhone and didn’t upgrade the ram I’ve had these problems. And every year they DID, these problems never existed. It’s as if the hardware needs a certain amount which is why older phones like my 6S Have zero problems multi-tasking and yet my new 11 pro cant even switch between two things with reloading everything. Clearly something in these new phones needs the extra ram and Apple went cheap, it isn’t 13.2, it’s been like this on every version of iOS 13 on the new phones.
Yeah, this is the proof we’ve been waiting for, lol.
Forget all the real proof that Apple is dominating. It all ends with a bug with RAM management.
They seem to have moved away from zero regression, but so has macrumors. I thought I was having trouble in the forums because I was using 8.2 or 10.3, but it still sucks on 13.x.x.
Easiest way to “test” this on an 11 Pro/Pro Max is go into any app, go to camera and take a picture. Go back to first app and it will reload 100%. I notice it a lot with safari.
Ok guys, I just used my iPad Pro 11 and switched from iMessage conversation back to safari and yes the page did reload but it’s instant. What is the major deal? I do not see this as being something so overblown on the interwebs.
Just save your work frequently. Problems solved.

How do you know this is a bug? The way iOS works, this is how the engineers designed it. The apps will reload when they need more ram. Just let ios do the work y’all. If you wanted such powerful platform for multitasking you need to look elsewhere. I’m not saying ioS can’t multitask you guys are asking too much.

And these metrics were measured when? where is the data chart plotted to show this is happening? Just let iOS do its job. NOthing is wrong with reloading.
That‘s why you can never do any serious work on a mobile OS, or at least until there‘s a pagefile.
Can't click away from the YouTube app for more than a few minutes or your progress is lost, as it cycles.
Whelp. Glad I read this before updating. I'll hold off for a fix on this, since it sounds a lot like a regression.
