Wrong. NiCad need full discharge to prolong the batt life due to memory effect. This aint about memory effect, this is about strain on the battery itself. There are too many articles about this.

You confused the Depth of Discharge with memory effect, deep DoD is the enemy of rechargeable batteries, not only Li-Po battery, NiMH battery, even 12V lead acid battery also don't like deep discharge and charge.
I beg to differ. We need to correct our mindsets about battery.
All types of batteries are consumable that deteriorate over time whether they are being used or kept uncharged.
Time and number of times a battery has been charged are not the only factors in the chemical ageing process.
Usage pattern and environment will affect the performance of a battery over its lifespan
If you are solely talking about the batteries, depth of discharge or even memory effect may have a little bearing.
Nevertheless, we need to take into account the interventions of the iOS operating system.
iOS software charges the lithium-ion battery until 80% and then quickly switches to slow trickle charging.
Straight advice from Apple is to just charge the Apple lithium-ion battery whenever you want.
Apple lithium-ion batteries work in charge cycles.
You complete one charge cycle when you’ve used (discharged) an amount that equals 100 per cent of your battery’s capacity — but not necessarily all from one charge. For instance, you might use 75 per cent of your battery’s capacity one day, then recharge it fully overnight. If you use 25 per cent the next day, you will have discharged a total of 100 per cent, and the two days will add up to one charge cycle. It could take several days to complete a cycle.
