"Not closing your apps will kill your iPhone”
Today, I was told by an Apple Store representative that, I have to close my apps in the background time to time otherwise it will run out of memory and die. I was like:
Here is the story. My iPhone 6s was suddenly “dead” this morning. I couldn’t turn it on. If I put my finger on the home button, it gets really really hot really quickly. The exactly same thing happened a few weeks ago, although it magically healed itself a few days later when I recharged the empty battery.
I went to the Apple Store, told them I couldn’t turn my phone on. The first thing they did after taking my phone is, holding both the power and home button for a few seconds. And... they turned it on again. Immediately after that, they doubled pressed the home button, and started closing my background apps. While they were doing this, they told me I had too many apps in the background so my phone would run out of memory, and, I should close the apps next time.
Yeah. All those time that we are telling everybody closing your apps in iOS would worsen your battery life, NOT doing that would actually kill your phone.
I was mad. I was actually planning to buy an iPad Pro on the way to the store. But I was so maaaaad that I completely forgot this thing.
I simply don’t accept this answer. Why that never happened to me before on any other iPhone? What's happening to the burning home button? Come on Apple, this should be a serious bug in your damn operating system.
