I’ve basically only ever had iPhones. I was taught to let the battery die completely out of the box and then charge it up from there. Is this still true?

I had the 11 pro max since the release date and just upgraded a day and a half ago.

    Thank you everyone for all the input! I’m definitely going to disregard what I’ve been told before lol

    Sorry if it was a dumb question, I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing with this new phone. This is my first brand new phone on my own plan after my parents passed. I appreciate you all!

    Just use your phone how you like to use it but charge it from a 5W charger.

    I use 20/80 most of the time. Can’t think of many times I’d be worried about needing my phone to definitely last as long as possible with no access to power.

    I also upgraded to 15 pro max from 11 pro max. Huge contrast! Don’t think you gotta let the battery run out. On the other hand though, you shouldn’t let it sit and charge for very long. I’ve heard letting it sit and charge while at 100% can shorten the battery’s life.

    I did the math on this the other day. It only comes out to about $2.75 a month over two years that you need to save to purchase a new battery from Apple. With that being said, just use and enjoy your phone how you wish. It’s cheap to replace a battery. Chances are you will trade in or sell it before you need to replace it.
