That was the single biggest difference I observed when I switched from Android to Apple 4 years ago. I no longer had periodic episodes where my phone would burn through 80% of my battery in 30 minutes, while getting lava hot. Not sure if Android has figured background tasks in the last 4 years, but the inconvenience of not having background tasks was greatly outweighed by having predictable battery life and performance.
