From PushKit's documentation:

PushKit notifications also have the following advantages over user notifications:

- The device wakes only when it receives a PushKit notification, which can improve battery life.

- Upon receiving a PushKit notification, the system automatically launches your app if it isn't running. By contrast, user notifications aren't guaranteed to launch your app.

- The system gives your app execution time (potentially in the background) to process PushKit notifications.

- PushKit notifications can include more data than user notifications.

Sounds like PushKit notifications are treated like a full app launch, which gives your code access to APIs which regular push notifications don't give you (trivial example being location) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/pushkit?language=o...

Correct!

But also some authors uses PushKit to keep their app constantly running in background.
