Do apps that use Push to send info use more battery life?

[j7469]

I have several apps that push info to me (FoxNews, AP, Bargin Bin, etc..) and was curious if having these apps are draining my battery faster. I'm not talking about a subtle drain but something where I may consider shutting off the notification on apps that I don't use that often.

Since there isn't multitasking yet, I'm thinking no but I hoping someone with more knowledge than I can answer this for me.

Thanks

I don't think so, the push is server side. The apps are not always running.

i think whether you use a vibration option, or not, would be your biggest concern

No because it's being pushed to ur phone from their servers.

As others have said, push is not really that much a battery drain at all. And even when OS 4 hits the way that Apple has done multi-tasking is through API's and saved state so it will not drain the battery either.
