Didn't answer the question. So you're saying it's neither here nor there but why not add more? Why?

I believe iPad Pro models contain 8GB or RAM so it would make sense if iPhone has it too. But for now 6GB will do it too.
That maybe related to how much RAM Safari is permitted to access more than anything. Similar to the 4GB iPad Pro limit for apps.
2021 iPad Pro has 8/16GB of RAM depending on the storage level selected.
All of this talk about satellite communications in an emergency.
Where is the talk about lack of VoNR even though the modem supports it? VoNR is a big deal going forward and something I wish to see in my 13 Pro. It would be like buying an LTE phone without VoLTE.

Going to play devils advocate here and say sure, but it would have an impact on battery life. Typically more RAM = more power usage.
Safari is a battery hog. You can see this by how much power it uses in the battery app and how relatively little time it is active, iOS kills Safari every chance that it gets. It doesn’t matter if you have a single tab with a simple “hello world” html page or 20 tabs of YouTube videos. Browsers are effectively little operating systems to themselves and no matter how much you optimize them they still suck CPU cycles. Apple snipes it like a rouge energy bandit every time it thinks you aren’t looking.
This a sticky situation as some PDF files require JavaScript but for some darn reason safari or the official PDF Reader DC will not open these either. Have to use a desktop for it as it’s a limitation imposed by Apple on iOS. Yeah “what’s a computer” certainly not one where I cannot open an Adobe PDF Reader DC file. 😜
So the newest pro is basically a bigger battery and better camera. SMH
I wonder why the camera just didn’t get its own isolated memory like Samsung does.

I do use Safari more than any other app on iPhone and I agree a web browser is a mini OS hence web app clips and ChromeOS of the past.
If it's doing that while you're actively in the browser then it's a memory issue. On the other hand, if it's doing that if you put the browser in the background then it could also be an OS restriction. On my iPad Pro M1 if I browse to https://www.time.gov/ then put browser in the background, iPadOS will kill it after about 5 seconds so it'll reload when bringing it back to the foreground. However, if I'm actively in browser it doesn't kill inactive tab with https://www.time.gov/. Surprising 6GB still isn't sufficient but when it comes to memory the more the merrier.
Why would Apple limit the amount of RAM it has access to if not because it doesn't have enough?
I just looked and in the last 24 hours, 16 minutes of Sarai use cost me 11% of my battery usage. (I searched and browsed some clerk of court records.) By comparison, 3 Hours and 21 minutes of WhatsApp (on a video call) cost me only 5%. - the network stack and a/v codecs are just so dang efficient these days.
From what I see, the pages are dumped to storage, as they aren’t updated after the refresh. Since storage is quite fast, this is much less of an issue compared to what it use to be.
That said, I’m not sure that is a ram issue anyway. Pages have ads that run and other processes that may eat away at battery life. I’m sure there is a battery life saving feature that kills tabs and dumps them to disk..
I gained a little bit back with the Amazon app by turning off the wake word under the Alexa setting. It also has the added benefit of not kicking my Bluetooth audio codec to headset / telephone when the app is in the foreground.
Have they published the x ray wallpapers for all models yet? I’m still rocking my 11PM one and it feels wrong 😂
High end LPDDR4 has much lower latency than current DDR5 solutions. It’s the reason AMD won’t touch DDR5 until next year.
