It's enough if you don't need 20 tabs stored in memory
Reliably storing 4 and up would have helped as well.
However, we're paying top dollar for these phones, there is no reason they shouldn't have gone with more way before this year.
What was Apple's offering to those who needed more, since they like options and up selling so much?
Oh right, just buy a whole new phone, years later down the road. Sorry if you need more in the meantime.
Excuse me, but this has been ridiculous of them to not include more RAM until now.
They'll ride 2GB of RAM when 4GB becomes a necessity some day as well, can't wait for that.
RAM and storage is something where Apple is slow to make significant improvements.
All of this wouldn't be a problem if the iPhone was a mid-tier smartphone, but since it's the only one and a flagship, 2GB should have been in there at least since iPhone 6, probably 5s really though.
Oh please, stop pulling numbers out of your ass.
My 5 can even keep 3 tabs open without refreshing.
I have an iPhone 5 as well and 3 is the golden number. The forth tab kills the first one.
ALWAYS.
And SOMETIMES even 3 is too much, depending on the loaded pages.
So it can keep 3, but not reliably.
The video proves nothing, technically. The author claims it's the extra RAM without any proof.
You're right, could just as well be the faster CPU.... Come on. Of course there isn't any technical "proof", but what you're seeing here doesn't need that.
Safari's cache doesn't get purged as quickly and pages stay in memory.
What else do you need. If it was a software tweak, Apple would have applied it to the 1GB devices long ago, as Safari has been one of the most obvious ways to point out iPhone and iPad's shortcomings for a while.
