How long do I need to charge my brandnew iphone before using it?

After 8 generations of iPhone, finally got myself the latest 15th gen brandnew just out of the box. How long do I need to charge it before using it first time?

There is no requirement to charge for any specific amount of time. It would be wise to leave it connected to the charge circuit during the initial setup process.
