iPad ipad 3 RAM

[Italianblend]

Hi,

I play a couple of games on my ipad3 like Plants vs Zombies 2, Mystery Manor, etc. along with the normal internet browsing, weather, etc.

It seems like very often as I am switching through apps, I have to reload the games as if it wasn't in the RAM at the time. I know that Apple products keep the most recent apps in memory.

I know this is working as it should, but do you think the ipad 3 doesn't have sufficient RAM to keep a few games loaded and ready?

Is the current ipad any better? I think I might sell this one when the next one comes out.

A simple google search would have verified they have the same RAM capacity.

You're just experiencing how iOS works. Reclaiming resources for active apps.

Yep, that's just how iOS works.

As for iPad3 vs. iPad4:

May as well get the iPad5 as it's close to announcement, may as well wait a bit longer.

It's not like having 4 or 8 gb of ram in your tablet.
It's only 1 gb, and if you run several apps at the same time iOS can't keep all of them in the ram ....

Yeah, I just wish it could hold at least 3 apps without killing them.

I will definitely wait for ipad 5 or even later - it's not an earth shattering issue for me. If I can't sell my ipad 3, then forget it. But if I can get like $300 for it, I'll upgrade.
