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.

That’s an old practice that is no longer needed today. The batteries that was being used in older battery tech has a chemistry in them that you need to calibrate the first time you use it (the discharging and charging you mentioned there).

Newer battery tech don’t need to do this anymore.
