#iPad Air 5 memory swap

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. So, virtual memory swap is a common feature now in computers and smartphones in which it reallocates a portion of your storage into virtual RAM when the actual RAM is fully used by other applications. 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 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. But based on Apple’s website, memory swapping requires at least 128GB of storage on top of the M1 chip requirement. 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?
