100% RAM is the biggest factor for Apple devices as their A and M chips are beats for CPU/GPU.

That’s why for years apple were always behind android for RAM because prior to Apple Intelligence and Liquid Glass, the OS just didn’t need as much RAM.
it is unbelievable how poorly optimized (or rather, unoptimized) ios26 is. refraction+extreme blur/transparency+HDR UI+ unoptimized LLM/ml on device
 
still using my M1 iPad Pro, for creative work. still have not seen a good reason to upgrade to a new iPad Pro. as the M series chips are so damn good. on occasion I have a stutter, but 99% of the time a quick google I find that It's the developer of the app fault and not apples. Honestly I think Apple should get tougher on Developers with updates and performance of their apps
