i understand the battery-life argument, but i find it insulting whenever apple doesn’t give users a feature and then tells us it’s for our own good. why can’t we just manage which apps get notifications, or have one switch to turn off all wifi-using notifications? they’re basically saying that we’re too stupid to understand the vagaries of battery life, and we can’t be trusted to multitask.

to cut off multitasking altogether… maybe it helps battery life, but it cripples pandora and evernote, and if it’s really so bad, why is the iphone the only smartphone that can’t do it? blows my mind.
