You can develop an xmpp client for IOS that does not ping you every 10 minutes (or ever). You have to register the socket used for XMPP for VOIP purposes and IOS will happily comply with that. Been there, done that

This still isn't power-efficient. On phones you should be using push notifications instead of holding a socket open.
