How ​​fast is the iPhone “aging”?

## **Over time, older iPhones will run slower than new iPhones for this key reason.** At launch, every iPhone is advertised as the most powerful smartphone. However, over time, they also become old, gradually aging. Many experts claim that Apple may be slowing down the iPhone of many users. Or at least Apple is the reason the iPhone slows down. **Apple iPhone Secret** First of all, RAM is very important, especially on iPhone! Although the iPhone doesn’t need a lot of Random Access Memory, it still needs them. Currently, many (iPhone 13)(https://www.24h.com.vn/iphone-13-c407e6216.html) regularly shut down apps running in the background and the reason could be iPhone 13 (same as iPhone 12) , iPhone 11 and iPhone XS) only come with 4GB RAM instead of 6GB RAM like newer iPhones. The way to test the performance of RAM is to have the user open a bunch of apps, then start opening them again to see if the iPhone shuts down any of them. As a result (iPhone 14)(https://www.24h.com.vn/iphone-14-c407e6579.html) Pro can keep more apps running in the background than iPhone 13. So, after all, Apple did slow iPhone it? First of all, this is not a “Batterygate” scandal – Apple tweaks the performance of older iPhone models to maintain battery health, the legal dispute ended with a $113 million fine for “House”. Apple”. According to experts, this will be a “RAMgate” problem – integrating less RAM to reduce costs, creating cheaper iPhones. Not only “Apple”, but also Samsung, Google, Motorola, Huawei, etc., also tend to equip their cheaper smartphone models with less/slower RAM. So the answer is: iPhones with less RAM will get slower over time, but not because Apple does this. This is part of the iPhone aging process and the fact that memory retention tends to decrease over time. **Should users buy an iPhone Pro?** Obviously, Apple’s iPhone Pro line will perform faster for longer. Although iPhone 13 and (iPhone 13 Pro)(https://www.24h.com.vn/iphone-13-c407e6216.html) run on the same A15 Bionic chip, iPhone 13 Pro comes with 6GB RAM instead of RAM 4GB on iPhone 13, works faster when opening and closing apps. Last year, Apple separated the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro by giving them two different chips (A15 Bionic and A16 Bionic). The interesting thing here is that despite running on two different chips, they both have 6GB of RAM, which will perform similarly. What many people may not know is that the standard iPhone 14 uses LPDDR4X RAM just like the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro. Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 Pro uses the newer LPDDR5 RAM standard, which is 50% more efficient and could be another reason why it maintains faster speeds over time. In particular, with Apple’s SoC, RAM is integrated into the chip. And, of course, by choosing the iPhone Pro, users will also get the natural advantage of having a newer chip, which is directly related to RAM performance and faster. It is expected that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be the first iPhones with 8GB of RAM while the standard iPhone 15 models will only have 6GB of RAM. Standard LPDDR5X RAM will appear on iPhone 16 thanks to an upgraded manufacturing process. **In 2023, 4GB RAM is not enough?** The first iPhone with 6GB RAM was the iPhone 12 Pro while the iPhone 13 only had 4GB RAM. Testing also shows that the Phone 13 mini often closes apps in the background. With 4GB of RAM, the iPhone 13 will become increasingly unwieldy for the same reason. At the same time, this is also a good reason for iFan to upgrade. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro is still easy to run background applications for a long time, maybe up to a week. Therefore, users should buy an iPhone with more RAM if possible because that could be the difference between a slower/faster iPhone in a few years. What about Android? Are Android phones faster than iPhones and… more perfect?” The answer is: no. In fact, the experts conducted another RAM test involving the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro and the result was…. Apple is still the speed king!
