I have owned every generation of iPhone to date and I rarely turned any of them off. I don't think you have too.

I've has my iPad for 2yrs and never turn it off. I just got my first iPhone4S in Nov. and I turned it off once just because lol. I don't plan on turning it off unless I'm in a situation that requires I do so, other than that it'll stay on "stand by" during the night, plus I rely on it for my daily alarm:)

I never turn mine off unless I run the battery completely out and don't have any way of charging it xD

I turn it on airplane mode overnight, and will restart every week. I only turn it completely off when I am installing a zagg. I also kill it dead most of the time for charging, so it'll be off then for a little while too.

This is bad for li-ion batteries. You can run them down occasionally to make sure that the OS is calibrated to the battery capacity, but running li-ion batteries down to empty all the time decreases its lifespan. https://www.apple.com/batteries/#mn_p http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

I turn my phone off about once every couple days, not for long, only about 30 minutes. The iPad doesn't get turned off too often though, maybe I will tonight.

I usually turn it off at night. I probably shouldn't since it's my only phone, but I don't like having any distractions.
