Should the time for first charging iphone X be 8 or 12 hours?

It does not matter at all how long or how short a time you charge it.

Have double checked and I believe you are correct about it being unofficial. This is the iPhone X guide which the original questioner could use and which I am sure you know of.

Interesting, but a further official guide I found was written in such pale text it was unreadable magnified to X 4.

Hey Ho!

It makes no difference how little or how much you charge it.

No idea what "activating the battery" would mean, but you can charge it as much or as little as you like. It makes no difference

Many years ago, one may need to condition the batteries, but those days are gone.

Formal? I've already seen one part that's complete bs.

"When charging iPhone 6 battery, users had better not make a call or answer a call. Otherwise you may get an electric shock".

Where's the research behind this? I can't say what I want to say, but you know that's bs. People start believing this. I've answered calls when my battery was charging and made calls. Nothing happens. But I'm using Bluetooth headphones, earbuds or the speaker. I didn't get an electric shock.

Target #4 doesn't make sense, given that a Google search will tell you it's not needed. See my previous post. If anyone wants to prove me wrong, you'd better come with a truckload of proof that can be checked.

Like I said with all due respect whoever wrote that should've at least at the minimum done a Google Search. That's also not an Apple Site. If it was, it would be https://, not http://. Right there it should be noted that it's external. Which means Apple didn't write the document. Someone else that doesn't work for Apple did. An official guide/instruction manual however does exist, and can be found on iBooks, if you do a basic search. That's official. I have one for my 6S Plus that I downloaded.

Your part on "education" does not apply because of the above.

In short, that site is not official. I'm using Firefox on my laptop. On my address bar, it says "Apple Inc. (US), with a green padlock and the page that I'm on right now. This is official. On that site that you gave, this is absent.

Double check this for yourself.

With all due respect.

You've taught me stuff. 🙂. I'm laughing now. Yes, that link to the guide is official. Even though the padlock is absent, it's replaced if you are on Firefox with an i with a circle around it (Information). This is linked from the official Apple Site.

You can also download said manual onto your iPhone from iBooks.

That one you should be able to magnify it past 4X.

You can't get much more formal than an Apple user guide. If you feel it is inadequate, write to iphone feedback and educate them.

People are still in the belief that batteries need to be "calibrated" A search on Google will tell you otherwise. Yet people "believe" this.

Hi

You just need to charge until battery is full about 2.5 hours never let iPhone

Get a flat battery below 15%

Cheers

This is Apple's formal guidance document.
