  • Inside all the new HomeKit products coming out in 2020

    The Legrand + Netatmo panel never announced HomeKit support
    Netatmo has still yet to release their doorbell.
    Brilliant still hasn’t launched HomeKit support either...

  • Apple cancelled encrypted iCloud plans after the FBI complained

    I understand compromise, but come on. This just makes iCloud a less desirable platform.

  • Review: August's Smart Lock Pro + Connect bundle is a pricey but useful Apple HomeKit add-...

    I’d like to hear more about the so called alternatives.

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

    I disagree. Obviously, at least some memory is being taken up when apps are left open. Even if it's just a screenshot of the app being cached, it's still taking up some memory. But the fact of the matter is, it's not just a screenshot of the app being cached. The app actually is opened and is therefore taking up memory of some kind... obviously.  I believe the video demonstrates, in theory, that you SHOULD close your apps on your iPhone/iPad: He says the only reason you should close an app is if it crashes.  But if the app crashes while it's opened then is that not evidence that the app is opened and running in the background? And if it's running in the background, is it not using memory? If it's using memory does that not potentially impact performance at some level, even if perhaps minuscule? And thus, the more apps you have opened the greater the impact of that potential performance decrease?  Okay, perhaps opened apps are in some dedicated memory for background tasks... but in the end it's still sitting in memory and memory has a limit. So I think it's only common sense and reasonable to quit apps from time to time. I don't think one has to be obsessive about it, but being conscious of it is absolutely wise and to one's advantage. I think this video/article telling folks to NOT force close apps because it's a "waste of time" is... unfortunate.
    The memory wont have a real effect on battery life. Its background tasks that will provide a massive hit. Weather it be scheduled background refreshes, geofencing, or requested backgound process extensions. All of these hit your battery hard and you would be surprised on how many popular apps use all of them.

    I wouldnt expect appleinsider to spred this lie. Ill happily post Apple documentation that proves this wrong upon request.
