iPad: iPadOS 15 allows users to increase RAM limit for apps – Times of India

Apple is all set to launch iPad 15, iOS 15, watchOS 8 and tvOS 15 on 20 September. While the company has already revealed all the key features of the upcoming operating system, a report by MacRumors suggests that with iPadOS15 developers will be able to allocate more to hit their apps. Currently, Apple limits the amount of memory any third-party apps can use. This limit is to ensure that no one app is used by all ipadmemory of.
With iPadOS 15, developers will be able to tell the operating system that their apps can perform better if they have access to more RAM. Apple has shared an entitlement that will only be available on supported devices.
As of now, there is a 5GB RAM limit on third-party apps installed on iPad Pros. With entitlement, creative professionals will be able to easily use demanding and graphically intensive apps by sharing more RAM on their iPads.
According to the developers of graphic designing app ArtStudio, the M1 iPad Pro with 16GB of RAM can now allocate up to 12GB of RAM to a certain app using the entitlements shared by Apple. The M1 iPad Pro models with only 8GB of RAM will be able to request up to 6GB of RAM for a particular app.
It’s still unclear whether this entitlement shared by Apple will be supported by models beyond the iPad Pros. This week Apple introduced the ninth-generation iPad with a new . issued with IPAD MINI With 3GB and 4GB of RAM respectively. It is unlikely that the tech giant will remove the RAM allocation cap on these entry-level iPad models.
The upcoming iPadOS 15 will also bring some new and improved features to iPads like Live Text, Quick Note, Universal Controls, SharePlay and more.
