Pardon me I’m not great with computers, but does having more apps open use up more iPhone CPU/processing? i.e. is it using more ram? That’s the main reason I usually close them all. It makes sense after all that the more apps that are open, the harder the phone has to work to keep them open in their state...

No, this is a common misunderstanding and fallacy. Apps in the background are not "running" and taking up resources, when closed an app hibernates and iOS manages the system memory and CPU load as needed.


Killing apps does nothing at all except use up your time and your iPhone's battery (starting an app from scratch typically requires more energy than resurrecting a sleeping app). As stated above, the only reason to kill an app is if it is causing you a problem while using it.
