Actually I am quite happy that background processes are relatively restricted on iOS. When an incoming call is received the corresponding push notification should be fast enough. If all clients on my phone had to talk to their server individually the battery would be empty in no time.

Eh, not really. You get the notification (no guaranteed delivery time), open it up, it opens up the app, which takes a few seconds to load... before you know it the other person is going to have hung up.
