I didn't know you could determine the battery cycle counts for any iPhones. Enlighten us how please.
 
6s plus
254
Launch day device

I've always said I don't care about a larger battery on the plus but I guess I burn through enough charge cycles that this isn't really true. I'll be lucky to get two years out of the phone at this rate. Battery cases are an option.

Wouldn't it also matter how long the phone has been in use?

Yes of course, forgot to add that bit.

Yeah I could do that. Aren't they about $80? Weighing the pros and cons of an external pack. I could get one of those for around $50. Decisions haha.
 
I'm at 225 charge cycles on my 6S plus
Just to add 225 charge cycles with 94% capacity left, had the 6Splus since first week of October 2015.

It fluctuates wildly in the only app I've ever used l, Battery Life. Lowest I've ever seen is 79%. Highest is 92%. It's currently readings 87%
 
6S+ Bought December 10, 40 cycles Capacity 98%
6S Bought December 23, 43 cycles Capacity 97%
6+ Bought February 2015, 151 cycles Capacity 97.44%
 
6S Bought in November 2015, 254 cycles, currently saying 84% capacity but yesterday was saying 76%. Think its time to go to Apple and have them check it out...
 
141 charge cycles. Phone is a replacement I got in Jan. Battery is between 95-102% capacity depending on when I open the app.

GFs phone is at 230 cycles from launch day. 94% health.
