Turns Out Quitting All Your Apps At Once Does Little For Your iPhone Battery

Smartphones are a beautiful thing.

Never before have we had such power in the palm of our hands, but although they can pretty much do almost everything for us, the battery life has always been a bit of a disappointment.

Naturally, we’ve all heard that quitting all your apps that are running in the background of your iPhone periodically will save you battery, but sadly this seems to be a myth.

A 9TO5Mac reader made the enquiry about the alleged battery boosting abilities of app closures and Apple iOS chief Craig Federighi got back to him with the news, that it actually does nothing.

We don’t know who to believe about anything anymore.

However, while quitting all your apps won’t do much for battery, there are several phone functions that can be changed to optimise battery life.

Things like location services and running apps like Spotify in the background do eat into your battery a fair amount.
