All New 2020 iPad Pro Models Feature 6GB RAM and Ultra Wideband Chip

iOS is getting bloated and needs this ram.

Considering android devices are shipping with 16GB of RAM with not much improvement, I think iOS is doing well.

Android devices have much more advanced OS

Nonsense

Android devices have much more advanced OS that let the users run multiple apps comfortably just like on a desktop. Samsung's DeX is an example. That said, most of this RAM is used by the apps not by OS. What we have is that the apps on Samsung phones have more memory in their disposal than the apps on iPad Pros which are supposed to be used for productivity.

I think android devices have more RAM. But there is no evidence that Android is a more advance operating system. Considering the status of their apps and their fragmented software base -- I would say iPadOS is far superior for a tablet platform.

On tablets? Not even close. As for DeX, I wonder if anyone is actually using it for anything. You know, actually using it.

I think it says a lot when everyone around me has no idea what Dex is. A feature that requires you to plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse is pretty much dead in the water, compared to the iPad which has the strength of a strong app ecosystem behind it.

And that’s really the crux here. iOS get the best apps, which in turn means that pound for pound, more people are going to be using ios for meaningful work over android simply because that’s where the tools are.

People often confuse complexity with being advanced. In terms of usability, which OS is better thought out on tablets - I think iPadOS wins even without the app comparisons.

I think the last thing I want to do is splurge on a consumer electronic device while standing on the precipice of an unprecedented global recession.
