Apple was the one that started the era of smartphones if we take into account that the first iPhone arrived in 2007 and after that, Android phones began to arrive. Although smartphones were slow at first and quickly slowed down, over time they have become true multitasking beasts. We can have many apps and even video games and exchange between them while the rest are in the background. In addition, we can close applications to free up memory and make the mobile work better, although for Apple this is not recommended, as it announces that
Closing apps on iPhone will make it work worse and lose battery.
Smartphones have been progressing in leaps and bounds over the years, both in hardware and software. Their performance has increased greatly in recent years and if we add to this the functions and improvements of the latest OS, we have devices capable of doing many tasks. The great usefulness of mobile phones lies in that combination along with the enormous amount of apps that are available to do what we want.
iOS freezes apps in the background on iPhone, so closing them is a bad idea
Years ago, when mobiles were not so powerful, we had to focus on a specific app and avoid opening too many, since the system was going to
slow down. The same can be said of a
PC, Well, it is logical that although the programs are in ssecond plane and consume less, in the end they will be removing resources. All this logic does not seem to exist in the face of Apple’s confirmation that by closing the apps, the iPhone will be worse and will also lose more battery.
Seen this way without any explanation, it does not seem to have logic and therefore, let’s see what arguments have been added to defend this result. Was Craig FederighiApple’s vice president of software and head of iOS, in charge of confirming that closing the application It doesn’t save battery or make it work better and all this is due to how good Apple’s operating system is. According to Craig, iOS does not work the same as other systems, as it is responsible for freeze background apps.
They only recommend closing apps if they do not work or respond
According to Apple’s vice president, when applications are frozen in the background they do not consume resources and therefore, we do not lose anything by having them open. Of course, he makes a point adding that if it is an app that actively requires data like a GPS tracking or music, obviously if you are going to consume. Not only does closing those background apps not free up resources, but it also indicates that closing them will cause a higher battery consumption.
The latter is because the iPhone’s CPU will use more energy closing these applications than leaving them in the background. Apple’s Support page is clear on this issue, as it indicates that users You should only close the apps if they stop working and not under any other concept.
