What's new in iOS6 -

Perhaps that's how best to describe iOS these days.

Not terribly exciting but very practical... NTEBVP... A new invention by Apple, ntebvp V6.1...
 

Why not?

Battery life, no other reason.

A device left in standby mode but running suspended apps in the background will lose anywhere from 8%-15% battery life overnight vs the 1%-2% if all processes are properly closed. 4s Jailbroken running 5.0.1...

I would like to say RAM too, but a device running with 40mb available RAM is as responsive as a device running 350mb available RAM.
 
Oh okay that makes sense. I should have said multiple threads then.
I receive an average of about 50+ sms's per day from 10 different numbers at work. I need to check them all and then delete. When a system or something goes down, this can jump to up to a 1000 sms's. sucks

Agreed, it is irritating as hell.

That must be a side-effect of some jailbroken software because it is not true for standard iOS.

I've yet to pinpoint the issue exactly, but I'm sure Facebook and Instagram running in the background has a noticeably negative effect on my battery life. I've disabled push notifications, but Facebook still gives me badge app icons. I now close them properly and anecdotal evidence suggests that battery life has increased.

Running iOS5.1 standard on iphone4.

Correct, Whatsapp is another culprit. Suspended in the background and closed properly has a significant impact on battery life.

Push notifications only impact battery life when they actually occurring so you can have push notifications on all day and it will have little to no impact if you've received 0 notifications.
