#Apple iPad Air 5

The incoming iPad Air 5 base model is lacking the virtual memory swap, which is a requirement to run the Stage Manager feature. It’s causing confusion to Apple fans that the iPad Air 5 lineup will sport a Stage Manager feature but the base model lacks one of the vital requirements to run it, which is the virtual memory swap based on the report of 9to5Mac. This is one of the requirements to run the Stage Manager but it's not available on iPad Air 5, so how will it run? As stated by Apple, the new iPadOS 16 enables RAM-hungry apps to use up to 16GB of storage as its temporary or virtual RAM. As said by developer Steve Troughton-Smith in his Tweet, the virtual memory swap is only possible if the device has at least 256GB of storage, which means the 64GB internal storage of the base model of iPad Air 5 won’t be possible because it doesn’t have enough internal storage. So the question now is, if Apple insists that virtual memory swap is a vital requirement for Stage Manager but the iPad Air 5 only has 64GB storage, THAT supports Stage Manager? Apple has made its Hearing Aid feature for AirPods Pro available in the Philippines, giving users a new way to support their hearing using their earbuds.
