when should you do this? or how often? i've charged my iPhone fully twice.

(once when it got down to 20%)
(and once when it was like 60%)

my iPhone battery doesnt seem to be all that great.

should i go ahead and let it die and fully charge tomorrow or wait? or does it even matter?

yeah... am i screwed too?

I charged it fully when I pulled it out of the box... then played with it, but i have to sunc it a few times and then finally it died to about 20 percent. I charged it a little and then pulled it off to move it to the wall charger to charge tf ull...

did i already ruin the battery?

They're not that fragile. Just fully charge it (4-5h) and use until iphone shuts down, repeat three times. After this you should be good to go.

And if you were spooked about the post where someone said you shouldn't let it go under certain point, don't worry, your iphone shuts down before it for you.

Whew, thanks for the info. I don't remember having to do this with my old iphone. :-/ Oh well. I'll try anything at this point ya know?

I was already thinking of excuses for Apple to let me exchange my phone and start over... haha

You have been very helpful!

Let me understand this correctly. So, fully charge it then let die to 0% three times?
