Apple executive dismisses iPhone battery myth

Have you been closing your background apps to save battery? You don’t have to.
AN Apple executive has dismissed one of the longstanding myths about the iPhone’s battery life.
IPhone users, desperate to extend the battery life of their phone, have long believed that closing the background apps was the best way.

But now Apple’s senior vice president for software engineering, Craig Federighi, has confirmed it is not true.

A member at 9to5mac.com, emailed Apple’s CEO Tim Cook to ask if quitting apps was necessary for battery life.

Instead, he received a response from Federighi who said it was not necessary.

 The iPhone’s battery life has been a divisive topic for years, with many suggesting closing background apps was the best tactic.

Other suggested ways to save battery is to adjust the brightness of your screen, setting your iPhone’s email fetch to ‘manual’, and set your iPhone to ‘aeroplane mode’ when not needed.
