Leaving Apps Open

What are thoughts on leaving apps open for iPad and iPhone?

When you open an app and then go back to home, you can slide to the right from your home screen to see open existing apps; then you can slide up to close it.

Does having several apps open that you use everyday, have any affect on your battery? Does it take more battery to just slide to the right from home page and select the app or does it take more battery to close each of the apps with a double click on home button and then open them when you need it again ?

iPad Pro, iOS 9.3.2

Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

"When you double-click the Home button, your recently used apps appear. The apps aren’t open, but they're in standby mode to help you navigate and multitask. You should force an app to close only when it’s unresponsive."

Leave the apps in standby mode. You will go through more battery opening the apps again and again.

Excuse me? I'm not entirely sure how you read that I thought you were stupid into my comment as I meant nothing of the kind. Calm down. I was giving an explanation about what AppleCare might tell you to do something the senior VP of Apple says is not necessary.

It is highly appropriate to one who is promoting false information in their posts.

I do not know why you would think I am promoting false information here. I am reporting what I have been told by Apple Support personnel.

I do not know what misconception you are operating under! If you read my most recent response, it is written in response to Csound1. Maybe you are following this thread, but I AM NOT sending this to you.

This confirms what I previously said. I am not replying to toula21, but they must be following the thread. It is not my doing, but the site's.
