kinda silly question about iPhone 5 battery

[chris92e]

Hi everyone! My iPhone 5 arrived today and I couldn't wait to try it but I forgot about the nano sim thing, so I can't activate my phone just yet. My question is, you're supposed to exhaust the battery the first time you turn the phone on, so shall I just leave it on like this, with no usage, or shall I turn it off and exhaust it once I have a sim card? Silly question but I'm ocd about battery calibration haha. Thanks in advance!

PS: this thing looks GORGEOUS!

It won't matter as long as you drain it. Even then, it's not really necessary.

just leave it on.. when it dies... plug it in..

thanks for the replies!! well I guess I'll just leave it on standby then until it gets drained on its own. such a shame I have to wait for the card to arrive to enter the os though
