iPhone 6s Battery - Do we need to calibrate it?

[jamesburlander]

This has been a long standing debate - but figured I'd ask on here.

Do we need to calibrate our new iPhone batteries? Charge them up to 100% and then run them to 0%, then charge them up again?

What is recommended for best battery life?

Not sure if the newer technology needs this kind of treatment or not.

Thanks all!

I don't really think it matters any more.

Although charging my 6s seemed to take quite some time to actually get above 85 (it actually drained whilst connected to my MacBook syncing - that didn't happen on my 6, it would charge it too).
Eventually got to 96 then it jumped to 100. I'm gonna run it flat before charging it again.
I don't think it hurts to, whether it benefits or not.

No, you do not.

Personally I've always noticed iPhone batteries get better after a few cycles - even the 6.

Charge it when you can, run it off of the battery when you need to.
