or you know, turn off bluetooth and wifi
and anything else thats on that doesn't need to be
or just get a better phone that doesn't need to keep sending data back to apple every 2 minutes so they know when you're having a shit and which hand you're wiping with

The turning off the apps thing is an illusion.
Apps have 5 running modes, Active, Inactive, Susspended, Background & one more that I can't remember. When they're in (I think, I might be mixed up on some of these)...
- susspended, they aren't running any proccesses, so aren't using any battery life. Only memory, which gets diverted away from the app if it's not in use.
- Inactive: Not used or open or background or anything. Doesn't use anything.
- Active: Open fully and that's whats infront of you.
- Background: Still has push notifications, doesn't matter if its 'open' or not.
- The 5th one: Same as Active, but there is a lock screen infront of it.
It is very clever with it's memory and proccessor allocation. The bar should be reffered to as 'recently used' rather than 'multi-tasking'.

But you're spot on about Wifi and Bluetooth, and you can stop the reporting thing; I turned it off straight away.

I'll be honest, I accdiently stumbled across a video that explained this yesterday while I was in "OMG NEW TOY" mode, rather than knew it from one of my technical levels.
But as someone who plans to make an app someday, its handy to know. I feel being a smug iPhone developer is like putting on some well loved slippers, in that respect.

There is one for OSX which deletes them called ZapApp or something like that.
I could never hope to create a pun based app better than that.

Oh contree mon cherie.
I promise you, within 3 months, I shall have at least one of these suggestions done.
I hate to say this but my initial thoughts are to do a "brapp-brap", when you shake the phone it does the the finger-clapping thing and says a random sound like "YEAH' BOI'" and "SAFE BLUD".

It's so good I bet you're right.
Something that helps you find the right app for what you want or some shit?
What do I know? I have a fucking Nokia.

how about an app that when you unplug the headphones
It plays a little animation of how to wrap them up so they don't get tangled.
It probably wouldn't have an amusing pun on the word 'app'in the name though.
