Working with iPhone battery life

[Mr Pants]

Okay so for some reason I didn't really think about how all the s**t you open on the iphone will technically be running in the background. I've now realised you can double tap the home button and drag out all the stuff. Obviously this will improve battery life. Do you guys do this routinely or not bother or leave certain bits in there or what?

Noticed a big improvement with battery on standby since clearing all the s**t out this morning. Used like 1% or something.

When things are not open, they are not running (anything apple related anyway, some of the 3rd party apps still do)
You don't need to "drag" them out of there either. Just hold until they wiggle, the remove.

Sorry I meant hold to they wiggle then remove.

Maybe it's just Angry Birds that is using a fair chunk of the battery then! :approve:
