Lithium ion batteries don't need to be run down all of the time. Sometimes the charge monitor can get out of sync though, and letting the battery run down once or twice should correct this. I'm not sure if the iPhone does anything special in this sense though. LI batteries like to be used though and they like to be charged. LI batteries have a finite number of charging cycles in them, so you do want to charge them up whenever it's convenient. LI batteries also loose charge over time even if they're not being used at all. I've seen 10% a year tossed around.
