Apple has a responsibility to iPhone users to develop guidelines that ensure that the system continues to work as expected, doesn’t overheat, and doesn’t plunge in battery life as new applications are installed. Not allowing third party developers to install background processes is part of that plan. It would be irresponsible for Apple to kick open the floodgates for developers and then blame users for not understanding how to manage their own process allocation within the iPhone’s thermal envelope and resource constraints. #
