Hi.
iPhone 15 Pro from launch day.
Charge limit 80%
Recharge with Apple MagSafe battery pack or cable with Apple 20w charger At least once a day. Always over the range of between 80 and 20% approximately.
IOS 18.2

Do you use a lot of wireless charging? I’d be interested in hearing more about what your charging regime looks like.
Mix of wireless and wired using 20W charger. Usually charge at around 20% to sometimes around 80% and sometimes to even 100%.
You guys obsessing over battery health stats, and doing optimized charging rituals like limiting it to 80% with certain chargers are insane. I never look at any of my health specs, and I always charge it up to 100%. Whenever I actually NOTICE a loss in my day-to-day battery life…I just buy a new battery and carry-on with my day. I have no idea what my old cycle count is was.
Now all of you have been worrying and nursing your phones everyday like newborn babies, and look. I’m still ahead of all of you.

I’m actually trying to see how many cycle counts I can reach by September 2025, and what battery capacity my iPhone will reach. I want to see if I’ll get a battery replacement at that time. I run the battery into the ground until it dies and charge it back to 100%.
Today, the first drop – at 99% with 200 cycles (iPhone 15 PM).
When I see some of the significant battery degradation here with relatively few cycles, I'm curious to see if there will be an official 'Battery Gate,' as Apple promises 80% battery health after 1,000 cycles starting with the iPhone 15.

Same here, 99% after 212 cycles - 15 PM manufacture date November 2023 and first use January 2024. Then again there are many variables in play here between different users.
Mine 15 PM is very similar. At 87% - 328 cycles. I feel like I had a garbage battery from the start. I might eventually have to just get a new battery as I am trying to avoid upgrading at this point anyway until the 17 PM.
Since then (Dec @ 88%) I am down to 85% today with 329 cycles. With this trajectory I will hit 80 before my second anniversary and then hopefully still get a warranted battery change.
