These products have almost exclusively less than/equal to 8gb of ram. A lot of people seem to forget that apple has to optimize applications to work with the MAJORITY of their products. Problem is, we might never know.Ĭlick to expand.I don’t believe any app aside from a very select few will show any difference. If for instance RAM is doubled by default a 8GB device will become like a 16GB device, making the need for more RAM to avoid reloads much less of an issue.
if it's at all possible to know anything about it being used or not (like you can on Mac), I doubt it. Memory swap will be implemented just like on Mac or in some other way One thing many forget is that RAM usage and management in iPadOS should change thanks to Virtual memory swap coming to iPadOS 16. So far the only way to keep things open for longer on iPad was having more RAM and while 8GB reloads less than 6 and much less than 4, it reloads apps and tabs nonetheless every now and then.Ī 8GB MacBook will not reload at all, because it will go into swap (I have videos open since September in my 8GB MacBook and they are at the point where I left them, this would not happen on iPad).ĭoes swap make the computer slower? Yes, but since SSDs are very fast, especially on M series, you might not even notice the difference. And to this day there is no information on any app being able to do "more" with 16GB RAM rather than 8GB. There is no such thing as slowdown on iPad due to having "only" 8GB RAM, only the (rare) possibility of data loss due to a reload. So far the only use of 16GB RAM has been to avoid apps and tab reloads. While the methaphore is nice, I don't think it helps much in understanding what the point of 16GB RAM vs 8GB RAM is on iPad. unless you HAVE to an ungodly amount of webpages viewed at the same time to do your work and need your apps constantly working in the background, the standard 8GB found in all but the 1TB/2TB options is more than enough, especially on an iPad. In terms of your use case, 8GB RAM should be a big enough desk for you to do your work. going back and forth to the file cabinet takes time which will slow down your workflow. because you have less RAM, you have to put some files back into storage and retrieve them later. the less RAM you have (smaller desk), the less pieces of paper (files) you can work with at the same time. the bigger the desk (more RAM), the more files you can lay out at your desk and multitask and work with at the same time to be more "productive". RAM (measured in GB) is your actual desk. the bigger the storage (measured in GB or TB), the more amount of files you can store. think of your computer as an actual office and you have many different pieces of paper/documents (which would be files) to deal with at your job. Click to expand.big difference? probably not.Ī very very rudimentary and simplified ELI5.
