iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 15 owners, what is your cycle count and battery health?

Finally it dropped to 99% after 237. Like I can’t count the OG SE ( because battery health was a thing due to a lawsuit and I didn’t bother to look at the cycle count much).
The second gen SE is arguably worse for battery capacity than the OG SE IMO. Not only same battery as the 8 but it will drop to 99% after one month or even less ( happened to me twice).
The SE2 is top 5 iPhones with bad battery cycle counts ( alongside the 12 Mini, possibly the iPhone 8 and the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max at number 1 because I’ve seen a few battery’s swell quite quickly)
Third gen SE’s battery capacity took 5-6 months to get to 99% for me when I used to have the phone. A15 can handle the drop better than the A13 even with the SE3.
besides a 4005mah battery, the energy efficiency of C1, and its A18 using only 4 GPU Cores makes the 16e the best battery life of the 6.1/6.3 inch iPhone family ( probably the 17 Pro beats it)

Regularly limited to 80% charge and these days limit it to 90% charge. Initially I was not impressed with battery health and didn't see benefit of keeping max charge low. But now that I'm solidly past the two year mark, I'm thinking using the charge limit feature has made a difference. I'm still going to get the battery replaced once it gets below 85%, but before it drops to 80%. But I expect to use this phone another two more years, so I will get use out of that new battery.

Hi everyone, here we are still stuck at 95% after 615 cycles and more than two years later. According to coconut the health of the battery is at 95.5% but for me it is not reliable, I have seen it oscillate between 95 and 95.7 although it seems that when it stops oscillating it stays at 95.5. I want to say that I usually install the betas from 3 and that right now I'm on rc2 of version 26.2 and I've never noticed that this affects the battery, as some people mention. Greetings to all

Quarter of the way (i.e., Apple guarantees err estimates at least 80% up to 1000 cycles)

iPhone 15 Pro Max. Set battery level to 80% and charge when gets to 30%. Mainly use original Apple 5w charger but not all the time.
14 PM purchased at launch would like a word

That is brilliant, a colleague of mine had similar on his 15 Pro, about 1100 cycles with 86% health if I remember correctly.
I guess this is the benefit of having a battery that is well proportioned to the screen size, you get more cycles before hitting 80% health.
