Google Employee Claims Google Now App Does Not Cause Significant Battery Impact

Don’t know if it’s relevant to you, reader, but I can totally support the employee’s claim: I’ve been running the app since release and my battery life hasn’t seen a significant drop.

I could almost say I’ve noticed no drop at all, but I’m sure there has to be some battery life tradeoffs for the app to be running constantly. It’s just not as terrible as some people make it to be.

Or they have other bugs, older version of the iOS or some mecha-gnome munching through the battery’s electrons, somehow…
