Does Android use more memory than iOS? – Gary explains

  1. This is funny watching 4 years later because it's more true now than ever. My Galaxy S20 Ultra has 12gb of ram and there's also an option for 16gb! Meanwhile the iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with only 6gb

  4. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

    Thanks and God bless!

  5. Even tho I’ve used, and prefer Android phones, there’s no way that Android has better memory management than iOS/iPadOS!
    I bought a iPad mini (2019 model) because that no Android tablet in that price range can match it in performance, picture quality etc.
    And ofc the Apple Pencil for doodling and taking notes.

    When I saw how little RAM the iPad had I was totally shocked to be go honest! My phones have had 6/8GB of RAM and still felt way more sluggish.

  10. Apple has an incentive to make their software have less requirements so they can save money on phone hardware. But since Android is essentially a monopoly and the company making the software is different from one making the hardware there is no incentive to make things more efficient and so phone manufacturers have to compensate by putting better hardware in their phones …

  13. Wow!!!!! Why am I here listening to this fuckin nerd ….☎️📞🖥️💻🖨️⌨️🖱️💉💉💊💊📡🛰️🔭🔭📡🛰️🔭💉💊💊⏳⌛🧸🚀

  17. Virtual memory can be explained as banking system, You (app) came to bank and deposited your money (memory). Now the banker (OS) told you that your money is sound and safe (virtual memory) but in actual banker is doing business or gambling in casino with your money 🙂 i.e. what left of your money is (physical memory). Finally when you came to claim your money (memory), the banker got it from other account (other app) and gave it to you and cycle goes on. Smarter the banker (OS) lesser the chance of bankruptcy (app closure).

  20. Apple is a great hardware company and they tune their hardware to their software better than the tens of different hardware manufacturers who build android phones. I wonder if the Google Pixel has better memory management and handling than the rest of android phone makers

  23. Android does use a lot of memory because it uses Java, and Java run on a VM. Now the real problem is that dynamic languages running on a VM allocate a lot of memory and expect the GC (Garbage Collector ) on the VM to reclaim the memory. GC isn't really perfect its priority is to kick in when there is no more free ram available or when it could garbage collect when there are free cycles available, usually the Boehm GC is a Pause and collect kind of GC, which literally pauses all processes to garbage collect for large amount of collection the user will experience significant amount of pausing behaviour. Other concurrent GC run concurrently on free cores and dont pause the world to reclaim memory, but neither way GC is a low priority process and isn't very active at reclaiming memory.

  24. Java likes a lot of RAM by design 😀. iOS doesn’t have JVM, so it doesn’t need all these gigabytes. Also there is a Chrome browser on Android, which is RAM eating tool.

  26. skip to 2020 and my Samsung 6GB LPDDR4x phone has only 3.3 GB available on absolutely idle. Can anyone explain if this is for optimised experience and snappiness or just over-the-years bloat (I've removed or disabled or put to sleep nearly all bundled bloat apps so that shouldn't be an issue) … I'm at OneUI2 , Android 10

  31. Apps need libraries. That gaming app shrinking from 300mb (or whatever) to 10mb could be due to the app going to sleep or pausing, unloading the libraries that actually do the work like graphics. Apps tell the libraries what to do, like a musical sheet offering the notes to use on an instrument. The libraries do most of the actual work.
