[deleted post]The article has Samsung logo.

Just curious. IPhones are so fast, can iPhones open multiple windows at the same time?

    [deleted post]Propably, my 6s has 1GB and it's never been problem, very few would notice it in use.

    Again fandroid don't understand how much better iOS is optimized, you just think android with even 3gb works like crap so iPhone should work too, but as always fandroids are wrong and look only numbers.

              Didn't want to get involved... but some people are just so stupid. iPhones CANNOT multitask. That's a fact. iPhones do not 'keep apps perfectly in memory' or 'never reload apps', they keep a SCREENSHOT of the last activity open, whilst it loads in the background. Proof? Here's the iPhone 7 Plus vs Blackberry DTEK60:
              - https://youtu.be/4ZaFkBsLHjc
              Look at 6:24, 6:35 & 6:42 it reloads EVERY TIME.

              The DTEK60 actually BEAT the iPhone when it came to opening MOST apps, even GTA San Andreas (2:49)... then ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED THE IPHONE IN THE BROWSER TEST (5:00). Such an underrated phone...

              .
              .
              But the iPhone is still faster, right? lmao.

                Duelist, 03 May 2017yes but you can do everything that you want on android some... moreI don't know what RAM has to do with APKs, but then I can also say it like that. So you can download APKs, but iOS is more secure and has no viruses, it works faster overall and has a seamless look and the iPhone itself is faster and the camera hump isn't as big as the one on Lumia 1020 and the window next to my seat is colored red-brown. We just painted it 2 years ago. In front of that, I have some nice plants, one of them will soon get fruits which will be chilis. Do you like chilis? I personally don't like them too much and also don't know where I could use them, but the plant was for free and looks sleek. However, you have to look that you don't give it too much water because then, the earth goes through it and comes off.

                            Apple doesn't need to upgrade anything on the 7S. Just make the dual cams vertical and sheeple will go nuts and line up for it.

                              So is it truly multitasking?
                              Wow, ios can run one app in 2gb ram...how awesome is that!
                              Android is so stupid, it always needs some background app to help the foreground app keep running.

                                In every speedtest iPhone 7 keeps all the apps background while android phones always have to reload some apps.
