Mobile Browser and modern web sites

[Anonymous]

Is this a problem with my phone specifically or the push to apps?

I was trying to shop yesterday on my phone browser (Best Buy and gap) and the sites kept crashing and reloading. It seemed like a rendering problem (not a server load - the pages were loaded I was just scrolling or setting the filter). It kept asking “why not use the app” so i figure they push everyone to app ?

Do other people have this problem? Or is it just my iPhone 14 is too old and low on memory (5 GB free; when every app is 0.5Gb, system updates take 50GB, it goes fast!)

It's probably a function of large numbers of online shoppers overwhelming the web site. Try again in a day or two.
