How long do I need to charge my iPhone 4 for on its first charge from new?

I can't find any info in the starter pack on this and I want to make sure I maximise the battery life?

The iPhone battery has no memory effect, you can charge whenever you like. You cannot overcharge, as charging automatically stops when the battery is full. You can just start using your phone or charge it, the choice is yours. Read more here:

  • How long should I need to charge the new iPad and when?

    Hello everyone I just bought the new IPad and till now I didn't charge it how long should I charge it and when ?
    Thanks a lot ..

    You don't need to charge it before first using it, it should already be at least partially charged. Otherwise this page just says :
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Mine takes between 5.5 and 6 hours to charge from empty up to 100%

  • How long do you need to charge a new iPhone 5 for before trying to turn it on?

    I received a new iphone 5 in the post today to replace the ne I had smashed the screen on.
    I was told that I would need to charge the phone and then insert my SIM and it would be good to go.
    The phone has been on charge since 14:00 and still wont turn on (tried when still on charge and off charge).
    Any ideas?
    I have held down the power button for 10+ seconds
    I have held the power and home button down together for 10+ seconds
    I have held the home button, plugged the phone into my Mac, Itunes then acknowledges that a IPhone is present and is up to date but the screen on my actual ipone remains black????

    It doesn't matter. You can use it right away. Charge it when you need to.

  • How long does it take to charge the new iPhone 6

    How long does it take to charge the new iPhone 6?

    That depends on the level of charge...if it is fully discharged it could take two-three hours.  If only partially discharged, an hour.  But that is only guessing as it depends heavily on the charge level when you start charging.

  • How long does it usually take to ship Iphone 4 for at&t?

    How long does it usually take to ship Iphone 4 for at&t?

    The US Apple Store says that AT&T-model iPhone 4 units are in stock, which usually means that they ship in a day or so, though shipping at this time of year may take longer. Other resellers may ship sooner or may take longer to ship. As RG said, you'd have to ask whoever you ordered, or intend to order, from to confirm exact shipping details.
    Regards.

  • HT1476 How long does it take to charge a new ipod touch?

    I just bought a new 64gb ipod touch 5th generation, and i have had it plugged in for two hours or so now...So I'm just wondering how long it will take to charge until I can use it...Everytime I unplug it to try and turn it on and set it up, it never does. Do I have to have it charging for hours upon hours to charge it for the first time.
    If anyone could help, thatd be great

    Apple does not specify any special initial charging time. I would use the iPod without charging if the indicator indicates about 50% or greater. There is no % battery on the iPod. You just have to look at the battery icon in upper right and judge the % battery.

  • How long do I need to charge my phone for the first time?

    How long should I charge it before using? Anyone knows?

    Hi Virginia,
    It's probably best to just let it charge to 100%, however, if you needed to use it before it got to 100%, it won't hurt anything to do so.
    Cheers,

  • I have new macbook pro and how long do i need to charge 1 time?

    can you help me please?

    The MagSafe connector that plugs into the Mac has a pilot light that tells you what the charger is up to. If it glows yellow, batteries are a'charging. If green, batteries are charged and it is on standby mode.

  • How long do i have to charge my ipad air for the first time?

    For how long do i have to charge my new i-pad air the first time after unpacking it??

    Typically you shouldn't have to charge it. It should come with enough of a charge to use it right out of the box. But you will need to charge it when the battery gets low and you can do that at your convenience....and you can use the iPad while the battery is charging.

  • Howl long do i have to charge my new iphone 4s ?

    how long do i have to charge my new iphone 4s ?

    You can charge it up as much as you like. The battery in the iPhone does not have the "memory effect" that old batteries used to have. I usually charge mine untill the small whote battery with the lightning bold through it changes to just a small white battery. The green battery icon in the middle of the screen should show as completly full as well. Again if you don't have enough time to fully charge it, don't worry, it won't harm the battery.
    I have done this since the original iPhone and have never had a battery give short life or fail.
    Many people top off the battery several times a day.

  • How many hours needed to charge the new iPad when connected to the wall outlet.

    How many hours needed to charge the new iPad wifi 16 gb?
    Yesterday it was my first time to charge and it takes around 8 hours (it was not on wifi& not on working any application)
    when connected to the wall power outlet using the supplied charger,dock and the USB wire.
    I,ll be waiting for urs reply.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at

  • HOW LONG TIME YOU NEED TO MAKE GPS TO WORK WITH OV...

    Question to NOKIA:
    HOW LONG TIME YOU NEED TO MAKE GPS TO WORK WITH OVI MAP 3.1 in N97?
    On all N97 I know and as you can read here in forum the GPS doesn't work usable in N97 and with MAP 3.1.
    I believe that this is a software problem because often I get a GPS signal inhouse and in the wood, but from one second  to the other N97 lost the GPS signal. And this in the best weather condition under free sky. Sometimes gps signal works for 15 minutes, then the signal will drop every minute or so.
    The current position on map is shift (past) abaout 40-50 meters from the real position, so its unable to use.
    The calculated speed is always changing between 0 and the current speed. 
    I have updated phone to de newes software and firmware also to ne newest maps also has hard reseted and reformatet and the problem ist still the same. If I switch off the option "Maps improvment" (which SENDS DATA TO NOKIA!!!) the the drop outs are fewer. But evreytime the position on maps is shift about 40-50 Meters from right position. Is there a mistake in calculation the position?  Also the speed is jumping sometimes from 0 to x and back.
    CAN NOKIA TELL US WHEN THIS BUG WILL BE FIXED, AND CAN NOKIA OFFER US A REFUND.
    I have payed a lot for N97 and alot for the navigation licence and a lot for accesoires and a lot for the traffic security assistance. So I want a working phone! I dint have payed money for e alpha-stadium phone.
    If this is realy the quality of nokia phone, then It is the latest phone I have buyed from nokia.
    By the way, the phone has many many many many other bugs as described in this forum.
    Really bad work NOKIA! :-(
    I was so excited with my N95 and now this mess...
    NOKIA please answer us forum members, what you plan to do with the N97 bugs. When we can hope that the bugs are gone? Otherwise I will return my phone and want my money back and I sue for compensation.

    I have no word to disagree with you and hoping that Nokia soon will make some press statement or something else to tell us what they do with their flagship, sorry bugship Nokia N97.
    Could be a shame recognize errors, but it's worst not to say nothing ant let the bad news of Nokia N97 spread for internet even if they want to sell a Nokia N97 Mini in the near future.
    I understand and supose that we will no have no new version till september because we are in the last week and july and the activity in august decrease really high... but at least someone of Nokia could tell something about this problems and if it's possible all the other problems.
    Why Nokia Beta Labs Forum there is a direct contact with Nokia workers, and in discussions is relly rare to find?
    Yesterday is history.
    Tomorrow is a mistery.
