iPhone Developer Intervention Week 9: Memory Management

After discussing iPhone file types last week, we can move on to memory management. On the current version of the iPhone, there is only 128MB of RAM, which is far lower than the usual 2+GB we see on desktop and laptop Macs. iPhone developers must keep this in mind when they are designing their games and writing their code in order to reduce the number of crashes and give the user a great experience with their app.
