Preliminary Reports Suggest iOS 13.3 Fixes Multitasking Problems

And yet, in this very article there is a quote from someone opening 32 apps at once. He clearly ‘needed’ to do that in order to test the bug properly.
Perhaps this is your first experience in 2 decades of someone needing to hold X amount of apps in memory at the same time, but this proves that you certainly do not know anyone else’s workflow and have no right to suggest someone is lying about it.
You have gone on for so long about this, I thought it relavent to mention the glaring fact that you’re speaking nonsense.
So we need to skip 13.2? Luckily I haven't got any pushed OTAs yet on my 13.1.3 devices.
I'm guessing 13 is just bad luck for Apple then.
Or are we on the trend of odd numbered iOS being bad and even numbered iOS being great?

But what you do need is for the OS to be smart enough to juggle multiple apps and freeze the app properly if needed so it will be in its previous state when you come back to it.
I'm guessing this is part of the issue and Apple is fixing it.

Actually you don't. Why? Because your screen is not even capable of displaying all 25 apps at the same time.

Ridiculous that iOS13 saw a release at all with such a baseline flaw. Its like going to a supermarket and they don't have bread or milk.
So far the memory management issue is fixed on my iPad with this release along with other bugs we had reported. Looking good
So we have to wait weeks for something that was preventable? I bet if 13.2 broke animojis we’d get a fix within a few days.
I really like the idea of the Timer !
Wish they had implemented that when they first introduced the iPhone X !
That would have made a HUGE impact on High Perf apps running effectively on the X, & subsequently ALSO the XR !
When you've ONLY got ~2.8 GB of DRAM to work with, & with much of it consumed by the OS, RAM Mgmt is critically important !

Ahhhhh.... someone “needed” to open that many apps for work, because their job is to test how many apps can possibly be opened at once!
Touché.
Indeed you have me there. Apparently there is ONE job in the world that actually does require opening 25+ apps simultaneously!
I stand (very mildly) corrected.
As an aside- I can assure you with some degree of confidence, that most in the tech industry, while grateful for smartphones, are NOT doing 100% of their work on their phone... 25+ apps at a time.
Anybody claiming that is how work is getting done in the world today is absolutely spouting nonsense! =)
Again, you don't knowwhat is or isn't needed for some people.
But you are missing the point - even 3 or 4 apps open don't hold in memory, it is clearly a giant bug.
I used CarPlay all day Thursday and Saturday on an 11 pro max running 13.2.
What is going on with your CarPlay?
Who is to say that there won't be a 13.2.1 (or even 13.2.2) in the near future?
On this we can COMPLETELY agree.
I actually jinxed myself by mentioning in one of these threads that I wasn’t experiencing the issue on my iPhone 11 or iPad Pro... almost immediately after, the bug did present itself, lol.
I think RAM management is one of the more important pieces of the OS.
I’m certainly grateful this fix is incoming!
Weird. I have an iPhone 11 Pro and haven’t noticed this at all. I went back through my multitasking list through six apps before I got to YouTube, and the video I was watching 6 hours ago was still there and continued playing without a hitch.
On a related note, iOS 13.2 has been great for me when it comes to battery life. The battery on my 11 Pro was actually worse than my XS even though I wasn’t using it that much more since they’re mostly the same and I’ve had it for a while now. Then I upgraded and was traveling late last week and forgot to bring my chargers and had to borrow a cable and apparently it didn’t charge my phone overnight. However I was able to get through the next day, even doing some hotspot for my iPad Pro and GPS navigation before putting it on the charger in the early evening. I had been taking a lot of photos and videos too the day before. It’s pretty incredible. Right now it’s 8pm with no travel, normal use and my battery is at 75%.

The trade off wasn’t worth it for me but I have to say I did notice the same thing. I could sit on my phone for 4 hours browsing the internet and I’d be at 95% battery left. Upgraded to 13.3 and did the same thing and I was at 84%. It would be nice is they rolled that aggressive memory management into low power mode so it was there if you wanted it.
It's possible there's all that to it. However, the first few days, and in particular the first hours, after an update aren't necessarily good indicators of battery usage overall.
Anyone else have issues with FaceTime? When I FaceTime using my updated original iPad Pro my girlfriend on her iphone 11 Pro, every time I double tap home or swipe up for the recent apps, i freeze on her screen and then it goes poor connection for her and I have to call back. Not a wifi issue.
