I understand it's better to charge to 4.1V rather than 4.2V for longer battery life. How do I set up my icharger 106 b+ to only charge to 4.1V?

How to charge to 4.1 volts is here under settings

In very short form, find settings using the buttons and scroll to lipo termination voltage. If you hold the R button down, the voltage will blink and then you can increase or decrease.
Whether to terminate charge at 4.1 volts is another matter. The question will be whether you have enough capacity to charge to only about 4.1 and then fly a full flight and not go below 20%. Going to low can harm the battery and shorten life.

Or just buy a newer "HV" 4.35v/cell battery and charge it to 4.2v/cell....

Some higher end chargers( like the iCharger) let you adjust the termination voltage, but many others don't.
With almost all "4 button" chargers you can get 4.1 volt termination by selecting LiIon as the battery type.
Charge method is the same (Constant current then constant voltage) for all lithium types.
