As others have said this is an optimization issue and not a device/OS issue. 4 gig of ram should be plenty for modern apps.
The problem is shitty app developers that write apps with no optimizations. If the iPhone had 12gb of RAM those apps would still use all of it, it would just take slightly longer to happen.
It’s about balance. Big companies like eBay, Snapchat, Vinted, Tinder, etc etc all want to just write one app for all platforms and that leads to tradeoffs on both platforms. On Android those devices have more RAM because they NEED more RAM as the number of badly optimized apps is a bigger % relative to iOS.
Here’s an analogy: The case you put your phone into. If you buy the same brand for both but the Android phones case feels nice in the hand but the iPhones one feels awful and gritty and sticky and doesn’t fit correctly. That’s not the iPhones fault, it’s the manufacturer of the cases fault.
