      I had always heard that you’re supposed to drain it as much as possible before fully charging it. My phone is 7 years old and the battery still lasts a full day following that. I could be wrong though.

        This is pretty outdated. The best care for a battery is try to keep it at 50%. The absolute best way to use a battery would be keep it between 49-51%, which is obviously impossible, so people say keep between 20-80, the closer you get to extremes, the more damage it does to the battery (with fully dead being by far the worse)
