Careful - &quot;serious work&quot; sounds like &quot;true Scotsman&quot;. I think you&#x27;re right that RAM will limit an iOS device&#x27;s ability to deal with huge chunks of data, but to borrow a metaphor, that&#x27;s increasingly a truck&#x27;s task.<p>I was going to use the example of large graphics files needing a lot of RAM, but as the design field has gone from print to web, the resolution demands are much less, too. Designers using desktop computers to design print publications are a dying breed.
