I agree Apple does a good job of memory management, but this is a very complex problem, and as Sieghard says, not every app is going to be well behaved. I don't routinely clear out my App Switcher either, but I have definitely noticed that there are times my iPhone performance improves after I clear out the App Switcher and restart my iPhone.

Hi Alex,

Apple may do a good job, but don't forget that not all apps are
programmed equally so to speak. If a developer does a poor job coding am
app then having said app in the app switcher could drain battery or do
something else which might have a negative effect on how your device
performs. Despite everything I think it's good practice to clear out the
app switcher from time to time, for me it's a habit and I never leave
stuff in there if I don't use it and if I haven't rebooted my phone in a
couple of weeks I do that as well.

Regards,

Sieghard

I don't think apps are your problem. In iOS7 especially, Apple manages
everything so you never need to close apps manually unless you need to
restart a specific app. Generally, you can leave your App Switcher alone
and things will work fine. I never clear out apps, unless I know one is
going to suck down battery and I don't need it, and my iPhone never
locks on me. Try the restart and let us know if that fixes the problem.

    Have you tried resetting it yet? If I put your iPad is not obeying
    the auto-lock setting is quite strange, and might be fixed by a
    reset. This won't harm any of your apps or app data, by the way.
    Having too many apps open shouldn't make your iPad just lock like that.

    Thanks,

    Ari

        I was wondering if this was a common occurrence and if there
        were other things besides taking off the auto lock and checking
        the battery level that I can do to hopefully avert this
        situation.  The suggestion to make sure that not too many apps
        are running at the same time seems helpful.  From checking
        various other sites, it seems that this sometimes happens with
        the iphone and ipad and since my ipad is very recently
        purchased, it does not seem to be enough of a defect to exchange
        the unit.  Michelle

            Again, try a restart by holding the home and power buttons
            at the same time for ten seconds. If you have enough vision
            to see it, you are just waiting until the iPad starts to
            boot (when the Apple logo appears); once that happens,
            release the two buttons.
