TL;DR:
Restarting your phone once a week can help improve performance and security.- this is the same for routers and it’s commonly known as a power refresh
Maybe home grade routers.
well, I mean… anything can leak memory. but yeah, enterprise/carrier grade devices are designed to be in continuous use for years and they generally do that pretty well.
I leak memory all the time
Restarting anything with a chip in it once and a while is good practice.
I wonder if the regular updates mine does count.
Feels like I need to reboot my iPhone daily in order to keep applications and tabs from being terminated from out of memory issues as quickly.

My iPhone 13 mini‘s battery is so small that I involuntarily restart it at least once every two weeks
iPhone batteries are small in general. My GF’s iPhone se (don’t ask me which gen) barely lasted half a day, and took hours to charge. So a couple of years ago I bought her a Z Flip 3 for her birthday because all the girls in the Korean shows she watches had that phone at the time. Now her battery actually lasts a full day, and the phone charges to full in 45 minutes.
The larger iPhones easily last a day. The SE (any gen) are fairly small and thin and don’t have very large batteries. The 12 and 13 mini are also very small and thus don’t have much battery life. If you have a regular sized iPhone or even a Max, battery life is fine, on the bigger ones good even.
I’m just going to assume that you’re right because I know nothing about Apple devices and their capabilities.
I’m doubtful. I wanna hear more from security experts.
Update your spyware regularly
GrapheneOS has an option to restart the phone after a given time without any successful unlock. I have it set to 8 hours, so it reboots every night. Shorter is possible.
A freshly restarted phone is in its safest state. Necessary to input the unlock code, strict minimum required processes running in the background.
iphones just do weird shit after a while so that you can’t go on without a restart. truly smart
