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.

    Letting the battery go below 20% would actually slightly harm it, so no, no truth to this. That being said, just use your phone. It doesn’t matter. The headache of “battery management” would save you maybe 5% battery health over 2-3 years, if even that. Not worth it.
