Aw, no worries AP, you've always been very helpful and based on what I've seen had already concluded you wouldn't intentionally mislead anyone .
And I have to take responsibility for my part. Must have been having a floopy day (they happen ), because I had just posted earlier that day Apple's instructions for calibrating (full charge/drain completely/recharge), and their recommendation to do that once a month.
My battery seems none the worse after letting it drop to 8% and slapping it back on the charger. It's still performing better than when new, so I'll do the calibrate steps this time around and continue once a month.
I did the drain last night and it worked for me as far as settling the battery down. This time yesterday I would be around 40% Still at 75% after 10+ hours.
thats good to do once a month but it wont fix less battery due to the OS. They need a OS update to help improve battery.
I did it too. And YES (shockingly) it helped big time. But I agree with you 100%-- we need an OS update to really fix the problem cause at the end of the day-- polymer, shmolymer... Who cares. The ip4 had the same batt and it did the day EASILY without all this conditioning stuff.
