Is it possible for an iOS app to run indefinitely in the background? Just wondering.

No, and even if it were that wouldn't make f.lux for iOS possible. Even an app running temporarily in the background can't do this on iOS.

>can't do this on iOS. It can, and has been done, it's just Apple won't allow apps that do this in the store, hence the need for jailbreaking
