Considering how efficiently they utilize that "low on paper" RAM, I'm not complaining.

All the Apple iDevices I have contains comical amounts of RAM compared to other devices, yet they still can handle tons of tasks despite their age. While I'm pretty picky about RAM in my computers, I can't care less as long as my other iDevices works as advertised.

"Efficient" as in "kills apps immediately as soon as they are put in background" so that I constantly lose context in apps when multitasking

Even my "ancient" iPhone X does it so rarely, I don't lose any context. Even if it's happening more frequently than I notice, the apps also restore their contents.

macOS supports context restoration for 7-8 years now at least. iOS has inherited that soon after, so any application "killed", they SHOULD return to the state they exited, given they are implemented correctly.

Pretty sure they just use compressed memory and swap for apps that haven't been used in a while, similar to macOS.

Yup, 64GB iPhone 11 Pro still going strong. A wee bit slow however, so...a new 17? Have to upgrade eventually.
