The amazing thing is 8GB might not even be enough for the iPhone anymore, the stuttering and frame spikes in Resident Evil could easily be caused by not having enough RAM and having to shuffle art assets between storage and memory.
On the other hand, it’s a hard game to actually recommend playing on an iPhone. Performance is compromised with frequent frame-time spikes and punctuated occasionally by severe bouts of stutter.
Which counterintuitively actually makes it more RAM capacity demanding than macOS. macOS’s 2-stage swapping with compression (and absurdly fast NVME) is in fact quite good, iOS has to fit in RAM and RAM only.

It has more implications for the 8gb MacBooks, minis, and iPads. If their pedaling gaming, 8gb of system memory is not enough for AAA games.
If this is how the iPhone handle Village, RE4 on the other hand is going to be a slaughter for the Pro iPhones lmao
In iOS there is no swap:
