Always seemed to me like RAM value is much more irrelevant on phones since every app is sandboxed and uses APIs for background operations.
RAM is also always consuming battery, so there are reasons to minimize it. I wonder what the RAM usage efficiency is between iOS and Android in real-world, installed-app-usage usecases.

Already a lot of cross platform shovelware eats 2x-3x RAM as much as it needs to, doesn’t respond to memory pressure notifications (apps are supposed to free up nonessential cache, etc when that happens), and push other backgrounded apps out of memory.
