There is the myth of multitasking in iOS, which has long been exaggerated among iPhone and iPad owners. Ostensibly application in iOS multitasking bar all the time active and slow down, clog memory and consume a charge battery unit. "Experts" are advised to improve performance and increase the battery life of devices manually delete these same applications. The main developer of iOS Craig Federighi has denied such claims.
9to5Mac reader named Caleb interested in this aspect of iOS, and he decided to ask him directly to Apple. And the question he sent not to someone, and led the company to Tim Cook.
"Hello Tim.
How often do you close the application in iOS multitasking bar, and whether it should be done to save battery power? Just I want you to stop this debate! ".
Apple Guide is not often corresponds with the ordinary users, "apple" gadgets. However, it happens and such responses can be considered as an official position of the company. On the question of the reader said Apple's senior vice president of software Craig Federighi.
"Hi, Caleb.
I know that you asked Tim, but I can throw in my two cents worth.
No, and no again, "- said Federighi.
I must say that the iPhone and iPad multitasking bar does not contain a list of active applications, but only a list of recently run programs. OS intelligently manages tasks independently unloading or "pause" active processes.
When the user presses the Home button, the program switches to active background mode. Most of the tasks in a few seconds, then go into a suspended state. The first technical nuance is that the suspension of the application remains in memory. This is done so that it can continue to work faster, if a user decides to go back to it. Thus it does not use the CPU and a battery.
