Stop Closing Your iPhone’s Background Apps.

LOL. As a commenter points out, this article is full of bad advice. My guess is that Gizmodo is being paid by app makers to peddle this sort of propaganda, since apps do run persistently in the background and this does use resources (and does cause issues).

After all, you can’t steal data if the app ain’t running in the background. And on my phone, the battery definitely lasts longer if I shut down all background apps. Since stealin’ data is the entire goal now, of course app makers promulgate bogus crapola like this. Don’t buy into it. All lies.
