Actually, I guess in the long run, it will make absolutly no difference.
But we had some nice conversation here ... and as always, so many wrong myths and old facts brought to the table, that I at least thinking about this one:
Newer iPhone, 80% Charge Limit at night. Check.
Assuming you keep your phone on and only use DND, you have battery drain arround 3-6% at night.
Now: Charge every night (!) no matter what from (50 to 80, 75 to 80...) and let the intelligence keep your phone at 80% over night...
OR
don't. Until you are arround 20% ... and charge than.
In Scenario 1, you would have each night a little strain on the battery, but zero to none Cycles. This is especially interesting, if you just top it for the 3-5% DND night discharge, which adds up to about 20 Cycles a year.
In Scenario 2, you would have far more cycles, but less strain.
Same goes for work ; it's more "clever" to place it on charge if you don't use your phone for 4,5,6 hours or let it discharge 10-15% in that time? This adds add up nearly 30 cycles.
I know, we going into Mythbusters here ... or not? Maybe some ultra - technical weblog already looked into this?
If this is all pure assumption, let me at least know, if you top to 80% (or 100%) night or prefer only to charge every 1-2 days.
Thanks, be nice. I know, this is a very flavored topic to some. I for myself, am Team 80% each night.
To make it tl;dr: It's more strain keeping it at arround 80% , even using it on cord or loading it the whole night, even if you don't need it really OR lose cycle counts over and over through idling. I guess this rounds up with the question "HOW good is the intellegint charging that holds 80% charge over prolonged time?"
