Regarding Apple Documentation, you will gain lots of benefits using PushKit, for battery usage for example. However, it should be used only for the VoIP purposes, Otherwise, your application may be rejected for AppStore submission.

  • The device is woken only when VoIP pushes occur, saving energy.

  • Unlike standard push notifications, which the user must respond to before your app can perform an action, VoIP pushes go straight to your app for processing.

  • VoIP pushes are considered high-priority notifications and are delivered without delay.

  • VoIP pushes can include more data than what is provided with standard push notifications.

  • Your app is automatically relaunched if it’s not running when a VoIP push is received.

  • Your app is given runtime to process a push, even if your app is operating in the background.
