iOS 12 was perfect and miss it for the main reason that any time I use the app switcher to go back to my previous app such as safari or instagram or Facebook or anything really, the app refreshes. Back in iOS 12 I could go back multiple app and it wouldn’t refresh. It was perfect. I’m running on an iPhone 7 Plus if it makes any difference but feel it shouldn’t.
I’m using Apple Arcade daily now and even those apps refresh as well. Sometimes they even crash.

iOS 13‘s memory management definitely seems worse than iOS 12’s.

In short, it does a much worse job of...babysitting...background apps....
 
The newest iPhones should have gotten 6gb of ram. It’s clear they are the iPhone 6 of this generation.

Maybe 6, maybe 8 or 10. But 4 seems like not enough anymore

I wonder if the issue is management, not actual need. But that's only a guess. If the issue is physical memory rather than management, Apple may have just turned every existing mobile device into the technological equivalent of the iPhone 6.
 
It could be RAM management or iOS 13 simply has higher memory overhead than iOS 12 and no amount of efficiency can compensate for only 4 GB.

There's not that much new stuff in iOS that would need more ram since iphone 6. Just more and more retarded animations with every new version.
