Honestly, they just need to get their flash storage supply chain under control, and configure swap memory support for iOS. Or perhaps add a microSD port and let the device swap to a (disposable) microSD card. It's just preposterous that RAM-constrained mobile devices still can't use virtual memory (something that has been known since the 1960s) because of their bottom-of-the-barrel eMMC storage.

At least it puts a limit on how much RAM something can use. VM is always extremely slow, and once your RAM is full performance slows to a crawl...
