iPhone XS Max Has Your iPhone Xs Max Battery Degrades Yet?

How much are you draining it daily? I usually charge mine at the end of the day before hitting 50% because I think that counts as a half cycle and I have almost as much as your cycles, about 45-50 and I got it one week after you lol although no change in the Battery tab in Settings, weirdly I noticed it started draining quicker from a week ago, but can't confirm yet.

The new phone only has 1 cycle. The replaced phone had 2 cycles.

I bought a week 50 Max last weekend and coconut showed the full charge capacity as 3339 but had to exchange because the speaker kept cutting in and out. My new week 51 Max only shows 3271 as the full charge capacity. A 2% decrease out of the gate. Any reason to be concerned?

Thanks

Not at all. I've had, from the factory, usually above 100% but some at 96%. The one at 96% performed the best in terms of battery longevity.

I am no battery expert but wasn't sure if starting out with a lower full charge capacity will be problematic down the road.

My phone rarely sees below 80%. Only when I go out and about (which is rare). So it spends most of its life 90-100%. It sits on a charger whenever I can put it on a charger. Since the phone is always connected to the battery, it'll use cycles as it trickle charges 95-100% over and over. So I'm using 1/10th a cycle several times a day or more.

I'm a pretty light user. 1-2 5min youtube videos a day, lots of reading, I spend most of my time on my Macbook or Windows computer programming at work. But when I go out, like I did New Years Eve to the California Science Center in LA, I took tons of pics and hit 60% battery after a heavy day.

Yep Yep, no worries. Batteries are pretty fluid. Keep them from getting to hot, try to keep >20% - should treat you well. Don't worry bout initial drops, monitor over time.
