You don't need to do that to save battery life. Trust the iPhone.

Hey Steve,

I find myself going to the dock often to close all the apps that are running in the background to save battery life.
Is there a way of closing all apps running in the background all at once, without closing them one by one?
Maybe a “close all apps” single button in the future?

Fake or not, the message is perfect. This is what all the concerned multitaskers need to take to heart: Trust the iPhone.
 
My guess is that sjobs@apple.com is such common knowledge that Steve has a more private email for use on corporate communications and he probably has a team of assistants logged in on their "iPhones" (since sig doesn't mean anything), who respond via his signature terse responses so to create the illusion that the beloved CEO is actively communicating to the customer base.

Bingo!

Look at the screenshot of the program he wrote the fake email in. How did no one else catch this?
