I know this is about the 11 pro max, but this is is still 'kinda' on topic. I bought a new 8 plus in September 2018. It's currently at 81% with 800+ cycles. Not too shabby. I'll probably just replace the battery and see how long I can make the phone last, even though the 12 pro max is tempting. I guess battery longevity varies greatly between models and usage patterns.
