I used the method when an app appeared to have frozen my iPhone about a year and a half ago. When my iPhone recovered, the app was corrupt and would not run properly. I saved the app on my computer before I downloaded it again from the App Store. The downloaded app was a different size (a little bit larger, and functioned properly.
So, I spoke with a systems engineer friend who tested both methods of hard rebooting using his sophisticated monitoring software on his work network. He told me that the multiple press of the power button created an instability which he said could negatively impact any app or data that was currently running. He said the chances were extremely low, but he would not use said method.
