Screen is on about 1-2 hours a day. Charging every 2-3 days to 100% from MacBook.
My XS Max 256 has average screen time use 6-7 hrs daily, and I’ve had it since Sept 2018 (2+ years usage).
Current Battery Health Max Capacity is 99%.
Is this accurate? I don’t use any special charging routine, just charge on wireless Belkin pad and CarPlay daily.

My XR, bought Oct 27 2018, has 92%. I charge with the iPad Pro 10,5 charger exclusively now, previously I charged it with the iPad Air 2 charger. Basically, it's always a wired charge with an iPad charger.
After a full day, the phone is at about 50%, plus/minus a couple of percentage points. If it's a weekend and I don't have calls and generally use the phone less, it lasts noticably more, so standby is good.
As for usage, I always have LTE, location services and Bluetooth on, I use Airpods (haven't used any wired accessory in a long time) and mostly use stock apps (hardly any battery consuming apps). No social media whatsoever.
If I conserved battery or basically paid any mind to how quickly it depletes, I could make this into a two-and-a-half-day phone. I'm very satisfied with battery life and peak capacity after nearly two full years. I reckon it goes strong for another year before I swap out the battery.

I think it is accurate, I’ve seen phones need replacement at 90%. The 80% number isn’t set in stone, I think apple calculates voltage too in their health percentage. So trust their number.
Launch day xs max; can’t see cycle count though I never let it drop to zero (I always find a charger or portable battery when it drops to <20%) and charge it every night.
Battery health at 91%.
Battery health at 91%.
Launch day XS Max, 96%.
EDIT: Qi wireless charging (slow) overnight, intermittent charging during the day. I usually keep my phone topped off, or try to.

11 Pro launch day, 94% currently. I use a Belkin wireless charger to charge it. My phone stays on it all the time when I’m not using it.
My iPhone 11 pro launch day at 98 percent only 98 charge cycles due to lockdown this year hardly ever used as much used to go through 200+plus cycles yearly.
