    On my new iphone5 I can't close my apps like I used to on my iPhone 4 to save my battery life. How do you do it on the iphone5??

    Flick up the actual apps (the preview you see on the main window) don't flick-up the icons at the button as you did in prevous IOS, should be the same as in your Iphone 4 if you had IOS 7 install

    Closing apps doesn't save battery.

    back in the day it may have been a moot point to clear out your "multitasking tray" but now with the likes of background refresh the icon/live preview of an app isn't just a placeholder anymore, it can and will do data transfers which can take significant battery if you're on the cusp of being between edge and 3g (unless you've specifically turned off background app refresh).

    Still I'm an advocate of leaving this stuff on as turning off every little thing I might as well stayed on a Nokia 3210, I'm also never more than 45 minutes from a charger too.

    If you don't want an app refreshing in the background then you should disable Background Refresh. The problem with using the multitasking switcher is that Apple never intended for it be used to manage open apps, hence why the killing functionality is hidden. In iOS 6 and previous the system could silently re-launch an app even after you "killed" it. In iOS 7, Apple adapted how multitasking worked somewhat so that killing an app works closer to how people expect it to work. But it's still totally unnecessary because most apps aren't running/can't run for more than a few seconds/minutes before the system shuts them down. You would have to kill an app immediately after leaving it and even then the battery saving would be miniscule.
