Does iOS maintain a constant connection to Apple’s servers?
My iPhone is able to receive push notifications, iMessages, etc. in real time. Does this mean that when iPhone connects to the internet, it establishes and maintains a continuous connection to Apple’s servers? Or do the servers make a connection to the device each time they have new data to push? And if so, how can they always know where to reach your device considering that the IP on a mobile device could change quite easily across WiFi networks, cell towers, etc.
