You can think that way, although far less “cunning” and hilarious than tour example. I mean, not that insane.
iOS device can never replace a computer, unless user feature demand is highly limited and it lines well with the capability that iOS has.
Got a tip for us?

Disclaimer: All my posts honest. I am not one of these people who defends Apple like their life depended on it.
I own the iPhone X and it is impossible to multitask on it. 3GB of RAM is simply not enough.
If I
Android phones have 6GB+ of RAM for less than half the price of the iPhone X. It is unbelievable how Apple are too cheap to even offer 4GB of RAM for a £/$1000 phone.

If I
- watch a YouTube video
- pause it to reply an iMessage
- visit a website on Chrome
- switch back to YouTube, the paused video is lost and the app has to reload

I have an iPhone X. I just tried your example 5 different times (substituted Chrome for Safari) and I never lost my place with the saved YouTube video.
If you are having this kind of problem all the time, some of your problem(s) may be the nonstock apps you are using.
[doublepost=1521766550][/doublepost]OP,
What app were you using, and when was the last time it was updated?
I'm seriously impressed with your persistence and stamina in trying the example 5 different times
Especially since I couldn't be bothered to try it once
I'm glad BasicGreatGuy lives up to his name because, after a full day's work ... I'm in the same situation as you. That said, I have an 8+ so... even though I have 3GB of ram, I still can't be bothered to try it once.
I remember having problems with my 6+ (1GB of ram). 6s+ fixed that with 2GB. Been happy with my 8+.
You've never developed anything in your life, have you? I ask because you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Exactly, this is the issue.
Apps receive notifications when being moved to the background (appWillResignActive) and being terminated (appWillTerminate). It's up to the app to save any user or state data at either point. The app in question either isn't doing this, or is trying to and it isn't working for some reason.
Please enlighten me with how what I have provided in this post is incorrect and therefore, shed light for us all with regards to what is correct in response to the OP comment regarding 'multitasking' on iOS.
Or would you rather prefer to troll threads with negativity towards the users of this site instead of meaningfully contributing to the the site?
Thanks for providing a valid reason to not believe Apple when they say that iOS and the iPad can replace your computer for professionals.
Yeah, last time I checked the iPhone and iPad can't run InDesign. It can't support multiple monitors, no access to the file system and thus no access to connect to a Windows server.
I also need to be able to use Pitstop Pro inside Acrobat DC Pro. Don't believe Enfocus makes that for the iPhone or iPad.
Fonts? Again, don't think Extensis makes a version of Suitcase that works on the iPhone or iPad.
It's ridiculous what Apple suggests. Perhaps Apple means to imply that you can with THEIR apps. But last time I checked I wasn't using Pages for layout. And other than the random customer I don't know anyone that does use it.
Even as a casual Mac user with non-professional use an iPad can't replace the primary functions I do on a computer. Or, it will do them poorly in an improvised way.
Nope. Problem is the iPhone X only has 3GB of RAM.
Chrome was just an example. Happens with Safari too

Doesn’t happen to me. I’m on an iPhone 8 Plus. It will happen if you keep swapping a lot of apps but only a couple, nope. I suggest you watch the video I posted to better understand how the RAM management actually works in iOS.
For a £/$1000+ phone I want to be able to switch between more than 2 apps before apps are reloaded. This site is crazy how some users defend Apple no matter what.
It's 2018, I paid £1000+ for a phone, let me open up Chrome/Safari without it refreshing all the tabs.

But it’s not down to the device. It’s the way the apps are developed. Chrome is resource hungry. You can’t expect a hardware manufacturer to cater for individual apps when the developers aren’t doing a good job, that’s insane. You’re blaming the wrong party here. That’s all I’m saying.
Ok, Apple should stick to 3GB of RAM forever. Blame the app developer if their app doesn't run well.
In fact, lets go back to 2GB of RAM for the next iPhone. It will help with battery life and anything that doesn't run well with 2GB of RAM is not worthy of our £1000 iPhone.

Watch that video, seriously! I don’t think reasoning with you at a technical level will work. You’re not getting the point. As a business, any hardware manufacturer will only spend more in manufacturing cost if its really necessary. Not because a developer doesn’t optimise their app.
When is is necessary then? When Apple don't optimise their OS? (I am looking at you iOS 11)

My man, RAM management and UI glitches aren’t the same. They’re different levels of the OS. Just throwing more RAM at it doesn’t help. The OS needs to use it optimally.
I don’t know how I’m supposed to make you understand when you’re hell bent on not trying to understand anything at all.
If you’re really willing to learn about it rather than making blanket comments, I suggest you watch the video.
I don't need a video to help me understand RAM management.
This is 2018, not 2015. 3GB of RAM is not enough.
Just take a look at all the speed test videos on Youtube. Every phone with 6GB of RAM performs better at multitasking than the iPhone X.
The iPhone X is not a perfect phone. Stop trying to convince everyone it is.
The only reason I use the iPhone X as the my phone is because right now it is the best Apple has got and I don't want to use Android.
