Should I let my iPhone 5 die before charging for first time?

New iPhone 5. Should I let battery die out for first charge or does it matter.

I don't think it should matter the first time. My phone said to charge it fully before first use but i used it till it died cuz i wasn't home. Just make sure it dies every time before you charge it so your battery stays charged longer.

  • What if I didn't charge my iPhone 5 before using when I first got it? So I just got my first iPhone ever and didn't know that you're supposed to charge it for 8h first before beginning to use it. I charged it (even though it looks fully charged) as soon as I got home but as it was charging I sent out a few smses. Anyway so I never took it off the charger but Mum says that cos I already started to use it, it will never work at its optimum anymore. Is that true or is it still safe since I used it while it was still charging?
  • Should I let my iphone die then recharge? I have an iPhone 5 is it true thats it's good that once a month you let the phone die out then recharge it to 100%, I usually recharge it at 80% or less so I have it charged the whole day, I charge it overnight also. Is it true tht you should do this?
  • Should i let my iPhone die completely before I charge it? Okay so I just got an iPhone 4 and I let it go dead before I charged it. Then let it charge completely before using it. Do I have to do that every time or can I plug it in whenever I want and charge it.
  • Should I let iPhone 5 die all the way before doing first charge? I have some people telling me that I should let it die all the way before first charge and I have people telling me it shouldn't die.
