From PushKit's documentation: PushKit notifications also have the following advantages over user notifications: - The device wakes only when it receives a PushKit notification, which can improve battery life. - Upon receiving a PushKit notification, the system automatically launches your app if it isn't running. By contrast, user notifications aren't guaranteed to launch your app. - The system gives your app execution time (potentially in the background) to process PushKit notifications. - PushKit notifications can include more data than user notifications.
