If you ever wondered why your iOS devices’ battery is bad, well, here’s something you should definitely read. This guide, written by Scotty Loveless, expelling every single thing that Apple forgot to document about the way iOS behaves with your device.
Here’s something interesting that Scotty reveals, and it might even be shocking for some:
What most people tell you is that closing your apps will save your battery life because it keeps the apps from running in the background.
Wrong.
Yes, it does shut down the app, but what you don’t know is that you are actually making your battery lifeworse if you do this on a regular basis. Let me tell you why.
By closing the app, you take the app out of the phone’s RAM . While you think this may be what you want to do, it’s not. When you open that same app again the next time you need it, your device has to load it back into memory all over again. All of that loading and unloading puts more stress on your device than just leaving it alone.
