Well, each person can do their own research and use their battery any
way they like. If you want to trust the opinion of one person or base
your decision on anecdotal evidence then that's your choice, and it's
not a bad one or a wrong one.
For those that want to do a bit of reading and your own research, I'd
suggest Googling on lithium ion batteries, how they work and how best to
care for them. One good resource is Apple itself and here's just one
article on Apple's web site regarding their batteries
http://www.apple.com/batteries/why-lithium-ion/
Remember that lithium ion batteries are different and use different
chemistry than NiCad batteries, so they don't suffer from the memory
affect of NiCad batteries and consequently you would use your LI
differently than you would your NiCad battery to optimize performance.
Most of the inaccurate advice I hear around LI batteries comes from what
people were told to do with rechargeable NiCad batteries.
Ultimately though, your battery works for you and not the other way
around. It's meant to be used. Remember, these tips are just to get
optimal performance with your LI battery. That doesn't mean if you don't
follow them you'll notice an immediate and serious impact on your
battery's performance.
I'm not sure we need to continue this debate on the list anymore. People
have decided to use their battery the way they're going to use it, and
it doesn't look like continuing to share information is going to do any
more but just cause people to get more entrenched into their own
opinion, myself included.

Just contacted Apple Care. The expert suggest it is better to let the
battery drain completelyotherwise in the long runThe battery will be
draining faster
So this is not what Apple experts at Apple Care would suggest

This is the exact same advice I and others have been recommending for
years with respect to lithium ion batteries. Googling for information
on lithium ion batteries turns up this advice time and time again.
Lithium ion batteries do not suffer from the same memory affect as
NiCad batteries. It's this memory affect that makes it sound advice
to use up all of the charge in a NiCad battery before recharging it.
You definitely don't want to do the same thing with lithium ion
batteries.
Note that you may still want to zero your battery to reset the
battery indicator. I don't consider this advice to be contrary to the
advice in the article below.
Finally, this talks about optimum use. I would not be a slave to the
advice below. I do follow this advice when it's convenient, but if
I'm out and about, and I don't have the ability to top off my iPhone,
I'll still use it because that's why I have it.

Struth!... this is the antithesis of what I've done these past few
years.
One or two on these lists have recommended 0ing the phone to reset the
battery indicator. I do remember reading that trying to ahcieve 100%
isn't
cost effective in terms of how much power it takes to achieve that
last 5 or
less %age.

Subject: [New post] What’s the optimum way to charge your iPhone?
What’s the optimum way to charge your iPhone?
by MacDailyNews
[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"What’s the optimum way to charge your
phone?"
Simon Hill asks for Digital Trends.
"'The sweet spot for Lithium-ion batteries is to keep them charged
between
50 and 80 percent. This allows for the charged ions to continue to
work and
protect the life of your battery,' says Shane Broesky, co-founder of
Farbe
Technik, a company that makes charging accessories. 'Charging your
device in
short spurts throughout the day will give these ions just enough
energy to
keep them going,'" Hill reports.
"So frequent top ups, rather than one daily charge up is healthier
for your
battery," Hill reports. "It’s not convenient, but that’s the optimal
way to
charge your smartphone if you want to ensure the longest life
possible...
'Try to avoid going from 0 to 100 percent whenever possible, this
will start
to break down your battery and give your device a shorter lifespan.'
Shane
suggests."
