without the home button you can simply swipe the home bar back and forth directly from one app to the other, no need to invoke the app switcher, Even easier than using the home button, but gestures are impratical aparently.

But, if you're talking Apple's advice and not quitting... you might have 40 apps to flip through trying to find the one you're after. At least when you go into multitasking mode, you can find what you're looking for more easily.

As I said in another post, *even if* it were actually true that quitting iOS apps is no longer necessary for technical reasons, you'd still want to do it for practical ones.

There's no "even if" question about it. It is true, and has always been true. Your ignorance to how iOS works doesn't invalidate anything.

And it's been that way since 2010. Steve Jobs:

Just use [iOS multitasking] as designed, and you’ll be happy. No need to ever quit apps.

If you're using a few apps back & forth constantly, then home-bar-swiping is the way to go. If you need to go back to an app you haven't used in a long time and don't know how far back it is, it's way faster to hit the home screen and mid-swipe-down to activate search and either find it on the Siri App Suggestions list, or key in a letter or two of its name.

You guys are trying to solve problems which don't exist. or, "Who moved my cheese!!"

It is absolutely neccessary to close certain apps. This function needs to be improved! I bet next IOS will have a faster way to close apps again.

Which is why there is a means to do so today. It doesn't require improving because it's completely easy to do so. I suspect what you really mean is you want to kill all apps all the time, which as noted is needless and counter-productive. Seems to be a practice from Android and the knockoffs.
