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.
It's a good idea for the health of the battery to let it die completely and then charge completely for at least the first few times you use the phone. After that, you should be ok charging it whenever.
Most folks just plug it in every night== like brushing your teeth.
Older style batteries in portable devices used to last longer if you followed that practice. It wassomething commonly known as "memory effect". Batteries used now (really the alst few years) are no longer subject to memory effect. You can charge them partially and as often as you like.
Your iPhone has a Li-ion battery and is not sensitive to partial charging so go ahead and charge when it is convenient to you all will be well, best not to drain completly although will not harm anything as iphone will shut down to protect if it gets too low but you could panic when your phone does not operate until about 10 minutes into charging, so as I said charge when convenient so it is always ready to Rock N Roll.

- Will my iPhone die soon/ completely give out? I've had the same iPhone 4 since 2011, will the battery give out soon or will the backlight/ touch sensor die first?
- Why won't my iPhone 4s let me delete the contacts completely? I have deleted the contact but when I go and send a new text their name still pops up, but when you press the name to text them the number comes up. For example if the name comes up "Sally" and you tap it it'll show up as "(123)456-7890." But I want to delete the contact completely! How? I have already deleted their text as well. But there number still pops up.
- Should I let my iPhone trickle charge at 100%? Some websites and apps are saying you should let your battery trickle charge at 100%, which means the percentage might say 100% but the unplug symbol isn't there yet, should I wait for that symbol to be there even though it's at 100%?
- 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?
