Hey guys for people that have iOS 12 installed how has ram management been in comparison to iOS 11? Have there been improvements?

What are the current deficiencies?
Apps and safari tabs reload way more frequently on a 6s plus compared to iOS 9 and 10 for exemple.

OP : I didn't install iOS 12 on my phone, but I did on my air 2, and so far it seems the same as iOS 11 in terms of app and safari tab refresh.

do people not have ram management issues with tabs and apps reloading??
Not really since the 6s had 2GB RAM and my iPhone X has 3GB. It’s been a long time since I’ve complanied about this, lol.

I think the problem is limited ram on pre-A9 devices. This is rarely an issue for me with 6S, iPad Pro or iPhone X. Apps and sites are using more memory than ever so old hardware will struggle regardless of OS version.
