Just want to compare how battery is degraded between iPhones and usage :)

Mine is at 99%, 19 cycles, launch day Xs.

Personally, I do know feel any difference in battery when compared to my iPhone X, the Xs performance slightly worse...

YOU probably used it until it reached 0%.
That’s a no no.
Charge it when it hits 40%.
It should last longer.

Thanks for the advice.
I often charge when it hits around 20% using an iPad charger or Mophie powerbank. Does that make any difference?

That is correct, Li-ions shouldn't be completely discharged every time, maybe only once a month to calibrate.

It’s at 100% as per the battery health on the phone.

I’ve only had it since the 27th of September so only 3 weeks.

I’ve been mainly charging it wirelessly at night, occasionally using the fast charger during the day if I didn’t charge it over night.

98%, 12 cycles....

Had this phone for less than two weeks and have not charged from 0%.

Ran mine down till it shut off this morning, as I have done with all my past iPhone models. Today I note battery health is down to 99%. Launch Day XS here. Probably not a big deal, but for a $1000 phone I kind of expected better.

After a year my X was still 100%. My new Max is also 100%. Battery level never really goes below 50%.
