Q: Do I have to eject my Iphone 5 when charging via USB?

It couldn't hurt, and it may well help. I personally always do this.

Oct 1, 2012 5:57 PMby macminibruce,Well, I know it couldn't hurt (properly ejecting) but I am looking for a definitive answer of "yes" I have to do this and this is why. Thanks for your answer, but powering on my display (HDTV) takes 30 seconds and doing this twice a day for two years will really take the life out of the display when I might not need to. Not trying to be argumentative, just want to find something more official and couldn't find it on the site. Thank You

It is specifically about iPods. The question was about an iPhone 5, and the answer for iPhones is different than it is for iPods.
It's actually a bad idea to eject iOS devices, because doing so disables automatic wifi backup.
