Siri is a UI game changer

Heck, my own wife had no clue the switch near the volume buttons on her iPhone was a full Mute control.

Anecdote sharing time. I have explained to many iPhone users that the button on the top is not an off bottom, but a sleep button. That the way to turn it off means holding the top button down at least 3 seconds to give you the on screen off slider. Revelation moment for all. Shutting off now and then is a "Good Thing"©.

And the number of people that think leaving their rechargeable device connected to its charger when it is already filled to the full mark is not a problem for the battery is uncountable.

Even Apple doesn't say it's bad to keep your device plugged in. You have a limited number of charge cycles before battery life is reduced. The important thing is at least once a month to go through a complete discharge.

A charge cycle is a 0-100% charge-decharge. So, going from 100 to 80% 5x is a single charge cycle. Charging to full once a month and then discharging to 0% is sufficient to keep the electrons moving, from everything I've read.

For most people, they're going to get varying amounts of use off charge.....some days I use 5% other days I use 40%.

There's been no noticeable difference in battery life on my phone since I purchased it a year ago. The *only* difference I've noticed is since installing iOS 5, it's a little shorter..but then I have more things checking for notifications than I used to.
