  • I have a 13 mini and I assume the 4 GB of RAM might be why almost all my apps have to refresh after I’ve taken a video or series of pictures. It’s like the camera app uses so much RAM that other parked apps get dumped.

    This was worst on the iPhone 6. It was so bad I despised using it. Crossing my fingers that 6 GB is the functional sweet spot.
