iPhone battery question

[P51]

I forgot what its called, but when you first get it do you have to let it die first then charge it to 100%? Or vise versa? To condition the battery?

NO. Not required. You phone will have around 80% when you get it. Just use it and put it on the charger when you go to sleep! All the battery myths are stupid and you will hear a hundred of them here!

Just use and enjoy your phone.

No, you don't need to do anything special to "condition" your battery.

The only reason you might want to run your battery down to ~5% and do an full overnight charge is to reset your Battery % Indicator.

It's good to occasionally use your device. (leaving it dead in a drawer for 6 months isn't good for it.)

Other than that, just charge it when it's low, and use it normally. Nothing special you need to do.
