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

    I find this to be untrue. Too many apps are actively reaching out to the internet when left to their own devices, causing unnecessary battery drain. I have had to resort to closing my apps just to get decent battery life.

    How do I know this outside of battery drain you might ask? Ever had your phone get ridiculously warm in your pocket for no reason? Next time that happens, close your apps and see if it cools down.

    If that's the case (and I'm not disputing it), the "right" solution is to fine tune the background settings for those apps--like the ones that want to have continual access to the location data.  Just say no to "needy" apps that aren't important to you.  For example I believe the WalMart app wants your location continually; just say no.  Use the app, just deny it access to needless services while it's in the background.
    Agreed. I personally have taken those steps as location services is a HUGE battery drain.
