I actually agree with Apple on this. I trust IOS and the Apple developers to know more about managing memory, performance and cache than I trust myself trying to do this manually. That being said, I do periodically clean out my App Switcher just to make it easier to ump between apps in the future, and I will clear things out of the App Switcher and reboot to clear up problems I may be having. I also do this when updating to a new version of IOS just to start with a clean slate.

There seems to be no scientific definitive answer but common sense and logic developed from using computers over 40 years tells me clearing the App Switcher of running apps is good for your device at certain times. I always clear the App Switcher when performance falters or when I'm installing an iOS update.

Apple says leaving apps does not impact performance. My experience as a former rehab instructor and my personal experience says that when the phone is not working correctly, sluggish, apps not opening, etc., clearing the app switcher solves the issue every time.
