(No, just keep on. These kinds of regulations were long overdue)

    I just realized that the only reason I noticed my old phones’ battery swelling was that the back cover is removable and got pushed out.

    Now I’m terrified of my current aluminium unibody.

      I don’t think you have to be scared about this, it’s rare. Just don’t let it deplete itself too often (>20% for daily use and a full discharge/charge once every two weeks to recalibrate) and don’t expose it to low and high temperatures

          You don’t HAVE to, this won’t probably have an impact in the long run. I myself recalibrates maybe once per month. But it is easier to handle your battery level precisely when the measures you get are themselves precise. And it is more conveniant to not be caught offguard with less battery than anticipated. But yeah not mandatory to do it too often, just regularly
