Does iOS 9.3 improve iPhone performance? The answer is yes

iOS 9. 3 is coming, and although it has not exactly been one of the most successful versions of iOS for its "few" new features, it brings something much more significant than all that. Apple currently has many devices on the market that run with a single GB of RAM, in fact, we are talking about the iPad Air, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus as well as the iPhone 5S, which has little left, but continues to sell . We are already on the third beta of iOS 9.3 and I am going to tell you first-hand why you should be happy if you have a 1GB RAM iOS device, since the performance is considerably improved.

The ballast (or not) of the only GB of RAM

Apple got involved in the fact that RAM is not a determining factor in the performance of the device, especially when the operating system itself manages it efficiently, and they know a lot about that in Cupertino since they can boast of having two of the operating systems that they better manage the RAM memory on the market, we are talking about iOS and Mac OS, because more than anyone, an iOS device with 1GB of RAM moves to the verve of a high-end Android that has at least three GB of RAM. Leaving these types of details for fans of the brands, let's talk about Apple's commitment to RAM.

The iPhone 6 arrived with a lot of expectation and disappointing some for its supposed scavenging in RAM memoryHowever, from Cupertino they excused themselves that it was not necessary more, plain and simple. We are not going to deny that the device performs excellently with a GB of RAM, but it is time to navigate in Safari and the pages begin to reload, there we realize that there is something that escapes the power of Apple, and it is the rhythm to which we sail.

iOS 9.3, a breath of fresh air for previous devices

Personally I have installed iOS 9.3 from the beginning on an iPhone 6, where some FPS drops could be observed in certain animations, but nothing worrisome. However, with the arrival of each update I was finding a cooler, lighter device, and with the animations slightly accelerated with the intention of giving a feeling of frantic speed, and it has been.

I decided to keep the iPad Air in iOS 9.2.1 for obvious reasons, if the beta suffered from a bug, I was going to eat it with potatoes on all my devices, and I did not want that by far. However, seeing how well it performed on the iPhone 6 and that iOS 9.2.1 would drive me crazy in some transitions, keyboard, notifications and multitasking, I thought that "he who does not risk does not win", and I launched into installing the public beta of iOS 9.3 B3 on the iPad Air, I couldn't make a better decision. 

What are the noticeable performance improvements of iOS 9.3?

There are many but they are not visual, I mean, the device will not bring magnificent new wallpapers, or functions beyond Night Shift, but something shows, and that is that the animations, transitions and the system in general moves with it. single point of fluency that iOS 9.2 was missing in any of its forms.

The points where the system has benefited the most They have been the following:

• IPad multitasking is much lighter and more effective
• The Notification Center has lost the little pull that accompanies us since iOS 9
• The keyboard comes out from the bottom more fluently
• Multitasking starts faster and we navigate between applications more easily
• In the change between applications we observe a better performance of the RAM memory
• Safari has gained in speed, response and stability

Definitely if you were thinking of installing the public beta of iOS 9.3, my answer is that you should consider whether or not you have enough knowledge for it. But if you are doubting the benefits of iOS 9.3 for older devices, I bring you good news, optimization is on the way again.
