I can understand leaving some background processes, but why leave open apps you aren't using? It's a bad habit. It's not just memory but also CPU cycles and battery life. Take my mother's iPhone 6; her phone runs slow much of the time because she doesn't care to close out apps she's not using. When I take her phone there's probably 20 apps running eating away battery life and performance.
- fauigerzigerk 10y agoI haven't noticed any effect on battery usage or performance from closing iOS apps. The OS seems to manage that just fine on its own. I have completely stopped closing apps.
- mbel 10y agoThis is not how iOS works. Only few apps work ("eat away battery life and performance") in the background, and only in some special circumstances (active music playback, background refresh once in a while if user allows for it). The apps seen it app switcher (double home press) are effectively dead, their state is kept around to allow user to switch back, but they cannot do any processing in background.
