Improve your iOS device’s performance in 2 button presses

A lot of us own iOS devices these days and why wouldn’t we? They are incredibly well designed, easy to use, have the biggest collection of apps in the world, have top of the line specs and set trends in the industry with their technologies (3D Touch this year, TouchID a couple of years back, etc.). The only gripe is that they don’t come cheap. And when you pay this much for your shiny iPhone or iPad, you’d want them to run at Mach speeds. That doesn’t always happen, though. With numerous apps on your phone and many more tabs in your browser, your iDevice’s RAM gets a bit bogged down, once in a while, enough to make the next session of Infinity Blade or Warhammer 40,000 a bit less enjoyable due to stutters or crashes.

But, the guys at Cupertino are smart cookies. They have built in a way on your iDevice to quickly get it rolling smooth in 5 seconds. You just have to zap your RAM (don’t worry, no external shocks to be given). To do so,

Press and hold the power button till the power slider appears on the screen

After that, press and hold the home button till your iDevice takes you to your home screen

Tad-daa! The RAM’s reset and the Usain Bolt inside your iDevice is up and sprinting
