iPhone Air iPhone Air battery cycle count

[T0MMYC]

I don’t know about anyone else but I feel like I’m blasting through the cycle count on my iPhone Air. I’m at 90 cycles in about 75 days. At this rate I’m going to surpass any iPhone I’ve ever owned by a large margin. We’ll see how the battery holds up.

Yeah I was consuming cycles significantly faster than I'd ever seen before when I had my Air. Do you use the Air MagSafe battery at all? (I found that this consumes cycles unlike other MagSafe batteries).

Hope it holds up as well - Apple certifies these batteries as retaining 80% health after 1000 cycles.


But yeah, I'm noticing the same ... I'm consuming cycles significantly faster than expected even on my 17 Pro max with iOS 26. I could go weeks without using a cycle on my 15 Pro Max... (I sit a lot and plug in a lot). I used 200 cycles in 2 years 1 month on my 15 Pro Max.

OK so check this out - on my 17 Pro Max.

So from Wednesday 11/26 to Wednesday 12/3 - I used MAYBE 90% of a charge cycle according to the iOS 26 battery graph.

BUT ... check this out ... (Date left, Cycles Right)

I burned 3 cycles during that time....

I really don't like iOS 26's battery management view... it sure isn't reporting accurate information.

90! I am at 10. But i only got my phone about 4 weeks ago. I average about 3 cycles a week. What are you doing with your phone?

I purchased the MagSafe battery around 3 weeks ago but I’m not sure it’s helped the cycle count much. For example on 11/11, after 53 days of usage, I was at 63 cycles. Since 11/11 I’ve used 27 cycles in the last 23 days.
