While this may have been true on older lithium ion batteries, it is no longer as relevant. The phone within the iphone has a more efficient battery than cell phones of the past and although charge cycles are still applicable, they are now measured in fractions as well. Drain you battery half way, then charge it, then drain halfway again, its only one charge cycle.
