Video: Stop force closing all apps on your iPhone, it's a waste of time

I close them because with enough of them open the iPhone / iPad will start to run slow and in some cases cause considerable lag in apps. I have know of 2 specific apps if left open will continue to drain the battery - the main one being PokemonGo.

Why the AppleTV is worth the extra costs:

1. Roku has ads on the home screen. Pathetic. And expect more and more ads on the Roku UI. The CEO of Roku said the future of Roku is ads:

"We have ads on the home screen, and it’s a great place to influence what content viewers watch. So we monetize that." Roku CEO

2. On board memory. 32 GB vs 4 GB on Roku.

3. Much faster CPU

4. Much faster GPU

5. Free 4k upgrades

6. Much better UI

7. Much better Apps and App support

I'm in total agreement on this with you. I had to hook up a Roku for my Parents (in their late 60s) when they bought one despite my reccommendation of an Apple TV. They couldn't figure it out, and even I had issue navigating the OS and UI of the Roku. They took it back. $30 more isn't that much to pay for something you plug and play with ease. This coming from someone that hates spending any more money than I have to...

If there are a bunch of people protesting in a store I'd probably go spend my time and money elsewhere. Protesting outside of a store I'd just ignore them, go around them and go in and shop.
