...or not?
Ever so often, I'm reading tons of drivel from both camps: Yes, you should close all (background running) iToy apps daily and NO you shouldn't. Ever.
All I can say is: I do. Always. And on New Year's 2015/16, the woman next to me got mad at her iP4s, since she couldn't snap a pic of a bottle of wine (as a memo). Oh, NOT AGAIN! Why won't this piece of **** phone let me take pics anymore? she fretted. Can I try a solution, I asked, grabbed her phone, double tapped the HOME button and started to close apps. And closed apps. And closed apps...
Afer some 2-3 minutes of swipe-closing apps I almost had a fit, people around me laughing, but finally I could hand her the phone and say: Now, try again. Needless to say, she had no problem snapping her memo shot. She had no clue about "really" closing apps - and thus, never had done that!
So, at least for older iPhones (3x, 4x) you MUST close every gdmn app at least once a week, since, for example, iP4s has half the memory of iP5 (memory, I said, not storage space), and it gets overloaded/hogged down quickly. And that goes for my (older) iPad Mini as well. For the new fancy overpriced iToys (6x), I'm not so sure.
Here's something read-worthy, from a former Apple Tech guy:
