On my iPad 6th gen and iPhone 6s Plus, whenever I would navigate back to a previously page it would reload. I looked this up and read somewhere that this is the design of the i[Pad]OS and there is no browser that doesn't do this.
But I got an 11 inch iPad Pro 3rd gen 2021, and I am happy to report that it doesn't seem to refresh all the time. I can turn airplane mode on and still read tabs that had loaded. Even going forward and backward works offline. Just like a desktop. I haven't verified how long these pages persist; pages from weeks ago did reload.
This is an amazing discovery for me because I can now use my desktop style of browsing where I open lots of tabs to read and then read them all in a batch. Much more efficient especially when bandwidth is poor.
And it seems my newish to me iPhone 11 Pro Max also doesn't reload tabs either. It blows my mind that this upgrade has not been publicized, at least anywhere I could find. This is much more important than any speed spec.
