I'm trying to install Fortnite on my iPad, but it keeps telling me that I need 4GB of physical memory. I have 50GB of free space left on my iPad, so I'm a bit confused. Is physical memory something different from the storage space I see?

You might want to check what iPad model you have, as that can affect performance. A newer model usually has more RAM. Just to confirm, what model are you using?

Great question! So, when we talk about "memory" for devices like your iPad, we're usually referring to RAM (Random Access Memory). This is the short-term memory that helps your iPad run multiple tasks at once. On the other hand, the 50GB of space you see is actually storage, which is long-term memory—basically where all your apps, photos, and files are kept. Fortnite needs 4GB of RAM available to run smoothly, not just storage space. If your iPad doesn’t meet that RAM requirement, it won't be able to install or run the game properly.

Oh, it's an iPad 8 from 2020 with 128GB of storage. So, it sounds like I might be out of luck?
