I have the sppace grey of your version but I will continue to charge the way I did for my XS MAX. My max was at 98% when I sold it and I had it from launch date. This year I will take the same approach.

Keep it between 40-85% charge
don't use in direct sunlight or hot places
don't ever wireless charge
I will use a 5w charger
stick to apple only usb cords
don't game while charging
let the battery drop to 0% once a month
Let the battery drop to 0% once a month is not very wise tbh.
maybe every 3/4 months...

iPhone XR launch day still at 100%
After one year ?!?
 
Purchased my XS max one year ago (october 2018)
Battery health is still at 100%.
But I don't use my phone a lot, it rarely go under 50% each day.
 
Launch day 11 Pro Max 512 GB Space Gray Model. Obviously still 100%. Full Charge capacity is 4117 mAH, Design Capacity is 3969 mAH. I use the inductive charging pad, charge it till 80% and then take it off every night when it gets to 80%. When I wake up, still at 80%. Currently, my charge cycle is 10.
 
Exactly like my iPhone X, ordered on launch date but received 2 weeks later. I’m at 87%
Me too - X with 87% - mostly charged by QI. Probably only a hand full were charged on wire. Do you still get over the day?
 
I got a chance to look at my old IP6 Plus that I sold to a friend, I bought it at launch and has been a daily road warrior ever since (was for me and now for her). I used to charge it up daily with my 12w iPad charger, now she’s using the 5w brick that was in the original box.

The 6 Plus original battery is at 86% and holding strong. o_O

My IP11, obviously at 100%
 
iPhone 8 ...2 yrs old next month (original battery)
Battery 94%
Wireless charger
 
I know that but the Xs didn’t have decent battery anyway, even at 100% capacity it was poor at lasting a day.

Adam.
I have to disagree. My previous XS had very good battery life. From 5 to 6 screen on hours, more than any competitor its size.
my current 11 Pro is way better, for sure, but the iPhone XS wasn’t poor at all.

I have to agree, I thought my Xs was good but my 11 Pro is even better.
 
XS, October 2018, 88%.

I'm thinking it's the Otterbox Symmetry case that traps heat and living in a warm climate. I have always used a 12W USB charger (5V, 2.4A) but I don't think it's that.
 
iPhone Xs, less than a year old. 89%

I charge it when it needs charging, with whatever is closest. I have an off brand wireless charger from Costco next to my bed; and a Samsung one that Verizon sold me when I bought the phone that sits on my desk at work. I plug it in when I am on a trip or in the car. Basically I don’t stress about the battery, it’s a phone, a disposable item. It’ll wear out eventually and that’s Ok.

iPhone Xr (Nov19) just hit 97% battery health after 14 months of use.

Most nights I use a wireless charger and have been on iOS 13 since July (Beta). Never let the phone go down below 20-30% unless on purpose to reset battery (2-3x year) or in rare occasions.

Charge on and off during the day with wireless stand or 12w charger cable.
 
iPhone 11 purchased last month, 100%.

My previous phone (iPhone SE, 1 year 4 months, still in use today) went down to 88% a few days ago.

I've used the 12W iPad charger on both phones occasionally, but I try to use the 5W when I can.
