100% Charge Out of the Box:
Charging to 100% should not take 24 hours, unless you are having issues or have set this up. So, it will charge 100% nice and quick.
No. You can use your brand new iPhone as soon as it’s out of the box.
All rechargeable batteries are consumable components that become less effective as they chemically age.
Recent software updates can accelerate that process by adding features that consume more power.
As lithium-ion batteries chemically age, the amount of charge they can hold diminishes, resulting in shorter amounts of time before a device needs to be recharged.
Apple won’t replace the battery until it reaches 80% capacity.
Li Ion (Lithium Ion) batteries have recharging capabilities; however there are limits.
I recommend to slow charge your iPhone to maximize the charge capacity, battery health and efficiency. ⚡️🔋
NOTE:
Capacity loss in standby applications is largely determined by temperature.
Charge above -30°C and discharge below 55°C for best results.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉
The best way to optimise your battery life is to make sure your data and wifi connection is disabled (aeroplane mode). And place your phone on charge for as long as you can so that it goes into battery optimisation charge mode. Battery optimisation charging mode also needs to be enabled under 'Battery', in settings! I guess appl don't want people to optimise their battery, so that it expires sooner thus tempting people to look for a new phone.
That's been proven and apple had to re emburse people all over the world- except england of course.

That is ridiculous, you obviously are not aware that Optimized Charging is on by default, so the kind of defeats your whole argument entirely. You absolutely do not need to have your WiFi and data connection disabled. I suppose you would also suggest not to drive a new car because the tires will wear out, and you would also blame the car manufacturer for that too. Use your device like you normally would and expect to replace the battery in about 4 years, it really is that simple!
YES! it's always been the recommendation. And then use it until the battery gets to about 35% before you re charge it to 100%. I'm surprised apple doesn't advise this
Although it shouldn't need 24hrs
How can I ensure optimal battery life on my iPhone 16?
