What did Apple do to IOS 11's RAM management

[Stuart6]

I can't help but notice that RAM management is not as good as before. I used to admire iphone's RAM management where it could manage apps in the background without refreshing, but even on the iphone X, it seems that when you load a heavy app such as a game, the RAM management gets more aggressive in closing app. Is there any way apple can bring it's well optimized RAM management back, or do we really need phones with 4 GB RAM and above for next year moving forward.

Check out this speed test where iphone x was fast, but apps refresh, causing it to lose.

I couldn’t agree more. Apple is really slip with RAM optimization on iOS 11. I don’t know what they do under the hood,but they really make it worse.
