Neither Thao nor anyone else ever changed the battery in the iPhone", which is interestingly certain given the vintage and purchase date.
I have an iPhone 4 that my daughters use as a camera that is still on it's original battery. It doesn't hold as much charge as it use to, but still more than enough for casual use.
an iphone that old, used regularly, would have needed a new battery long before the 'incident';
Not true. I had an iPhone 4 for far longer, and it was still on it's original battery when I retired it less than a year ago. I actually wiped it and let my daughters use it as a camera on our last vacation recently. It didn't hold as much charge as it use to, but was still definitely usable.
Except for Craig Federighi, Apple's senior VP of Software Engineering (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/10/force-quitting-apps-doesnt-help-battery/)
Point of the article is that "some people think" that force quitting is a good thing. But that is in practice not really true.
Force quitting apps that keep sucking up my battery is a very good thing. I've already given you an example above, and I have a few more that I've already mentioned in other posts.
Obviously if you have a map up in the background, that will use CPU and battery,...
So, how do I get it to STOP using CPU and battery then? Force quit is the only way as far as I know. If there is another way, let me know.
The battery life is basically only dependent on my screen brightness.
My screen is completely off during the night when my background apps suck up all of my battery.
If that is true, then their assertion that force closing apps is absolutely wrong, since there are SOME apps that will drain your battery.
And actually you are supposed to give them permission after installing, as far as I know.
What special permission are you talking about? I have background app refresh completely turned off for all apps. And when I go to the settings, the app can be given access to media/music, notifications, and cellular data. All of them are set to off.
A web browser or a ebook reader is frozen.
Then Apple can say, "Don't bother force closing web browsers and ebook readers." They need to stop peddling the fiction that ALL background apps don't use any resources.
The article claims that leaving them in the background uses less resources than force quit and re-launch...
My battery is a resource, and some of these background apps sure as hell use more resources 'frozen' than if I kill them. I don't know why that's hard to understand.
it's exactly the same as putting a Windows PC into standby or hibernate instead of shutting down and rebooting.
No, it isn't. When you hibernate a PC, the entire PC is stopped. When you 'freeze' an app, only that app is frozen. The iPhone is still running, and those 'frozen' apps can still use power and resources.
There really is no benefit to routinely killing background apps.
Well, unless I don't want my battery run down because I left the wrong app 'frozen' overnight. It happens to me, so don't waste your time telling me it doesn't.
That makes no sense. If there are ANY apps that can use up battery and resources when 'frozen', then the argument that you shouldn't ever force quit apps is bogus.
Yeah, I didn't get the whole 'startup' time argument, either. Nobody cares about that. We just don't want a bunch of 'frozen' apps we aren't using to suck up all of our battery. Which they can.
They aren't always frozen. I'm listening to my exercise timing app countdown right now on my iPhone 7, even though I am at the home screen and the app is in the background. So clearly some apps are still active even when you can't see them.
There's never bee a problem with background apps eating up batteries on iOS.
Never say never.
My iPhone 4 showed terrible battery life a few weeks after I received it. I was having to charge it far more often then when I first had it. Then I discovered that EVERY SINGLE APP I EVER OPENED WAS STILL IN THE BACKGROUND! I had dozens of apps 'frozen', because I tired every app that came with the iPhone, and downloaded several more. Force quitting dozens of these apps solved the battery problem.
And lest you think that was some 'placebo effect', I also had an issue with some apps that I used at night before bed (exercise apps). Anytime I woke up in the morning to find my iPhone dead or near dead, inevitably I would see that I had forgotten to force close these specific apps. My guess is they were still holding onto the timer apps, since a timer was involved in these apps.
Back when I got my first iPhone (4), started trying out all of the apps it came with, and downloading a few new ones. After about a week or two, I noticed that the battery wasn't lasting as long. This is when I discovered how to view all of the apps that were still... frozen?... in the background. There were dozens of these. I force quit them all, made sure to force quit when I was done with an app, and the battery life went back to normal.
A few years later, I started using some workout apps that time rests and breaks in my routine. I usually used these at night before bed. Over time, I noticed that if I ever left these apps open, the battery would be dead or near dead the next morning, even if the battery was full when I went to sleep.
Apple needs to stop tell us that those background apps don't need to be closed, because they sound like idiots every time they say it.
electric car dealers were for a long time spared the jaw-dropping import tax of 180 percent that Denmark applies on vehicles fueled by a traditional combustion engine.
Wow, so electric cars get their government approved advantage (a MASSIVE one at that), and their sales drop? What did you think was going to happen? Why do you think the subsidies exist in the first place?
So, if their daughter had a diary that had a lock on it, they would be barred from ever opening it? It seems strange that a dead minor has more rights to something than her parents do.
As a small and personal example, as a computer science master’s student, on multiple and separate occasions, other students told me I was only admitted into the program because of Affirmative Action
Ok, you don't like being stereotyped as a woman. Got it. But then...
This messaging (regarding social issues) was removed and replaced after much pushback, largely from white men,
But it's Ok to sterotype men and whites. Because CLEARLY the only reason that they could have removed the social & political messages from the platform were because they hate women and minorities.
The summary claims the following as 'scientific issues', when in reality they are not:
attacks on black and brown lives - Nope
oil pipelines through indigenous lands - You could maybe make the case that science needs to address the safety of pipelines and their possible effects, but I have no idea why it should only include 'indigenous lands', as if non-native people enjoy oil in their drinking water.
sexual harassment and assault - Nope
ADA access in our communities - Nope
immigration policy -Nope. I can't even believe that they tried to pretend that this has anything to do with science
lack of clean water in several cities across the country - Nope. Science has already determined that we need clean water, and how to go about that. It's up to idiot politicians to make sure this happens.
poverty wages - Nope
LGBTQIA rights - Nope. And I swear to God, if they add one more letter to this damn thing, I'm going to turn anti-LGBTQIAQWERTY just out of spite.
and mass shootings - Nope
These things are important to address, but there is no need to force the scientific community to push these issues. In fact, doing so may have the unintended consequence of making the public believe that the scientific community has a political agenda. This could make the public question the findings of the scientist.
"Oh, sure, OF COURSE those pesky scientist have 'determined' that mass immigration and amnesty is a net gain for the country. They publicly stated long that they were in favor of these things. What a SURPRISE that their 'research' matched what they already believed."
a tax attorney at the Franchise Tax Board, told the newspaper that the rules are designed to mirror the ways taxes are levied on terrestrial transportation and logistics firms operating in California, like trucking or train companies.
Huh? I thought the justification for charging commercial vehicles based on miles was due to them wearing down roads, which then require tax money to fix. Why would you tax a rocket based on how far it travels? Do they think the rockets are wearing down the vacuum of space? Man, my state is run by nuts.

As I said, on my iPad I rarely quit an app, and don't see differences in battery,
I could see that with an iPad. The batteries on that thing are huge. I go forever between charges on my ancient iPad.

California. I have no A/C, and nobody is at home most of the days (we both work). Mine ranges from $50-$100 depending on the time of year.
According to the company, the tiles will be more affordable than typical roofing
I'm curious as to how they make solar panels cheaper than roofing tiles.
