From what I've heard and watched on a youtube tips video, this is wjere Apple shines: able to hold onto many apps open as long as it can; that this is making use of their powerful chipset inside. The tip said that opening and closing apps spends more power to launch the app itself rather than to let the app running in background.

I need a second opinion though.

Yeah i've seen so many people say this and it seems to be true.

But will keeping some apps that you only use once or twice a day on the background for the whole day, drain more battery than you opening and closing it just when you need it. See what I'm saying?

No. Apps in the background are almost always in a suspended state and don't use processing, and iOS limits them to very few processor cycles - basically to check for new mail notifications, etc.

There is little reason to close apps in the background except if the app is acting up somehow.
