Launch 15 Pro.

Extremely chaotic charges and intensely used (sometimes fast discharging).

A bit hard to believe the 100% tho 🤣

Thats insane, how do you charge?
Randomly between 30 and 75 percent, usually for 30 min then I need to go. Then it drains back to 30 and charging again until I need to go. Rinse and repeat :)) I created a shortcut that once it hits 30% it activates low power mode and I get a notification to charge, so that's the panic mode.

Rarely hitting 100%, today I had the performance to charge until 94%

Not charging overnight, unless I'm on vacation and I want to wake up with 100%.

But having USB C greatly facilitates this habit, cos I always have the macbook brick and cable with me so I just plug it there. I charge everything with that charger :))

A lot more cycles before it went done at all.
I think its to early to draw that type of conclusion. I would argue and say its strange that some reach over 200 cycles and that their battery are still 100%.
BMS improves with every update so it can also be related to phones being update or not updated, different usage patterns, what environment they are being used, how they are being charged etc etc.

For some reason i can't find the page with everything together. I see some of it in About and other stuff in Battery Health & Charging

Anyway

99%
92 cycles (In service Oct 2023)

I guess my cycle count is really low b/c it sits on a magsafe stand for most of the day during the work week.

The most recent iOS update brought it all together under battery in settings

At that stage of ownership, is has far more to do with your battery’s actual capacity when new vs. the design capacity when new. They are rarely the same number. Some are much higher by as much as a couple hundred mAh and some very very close to one another. Same usage and charging pattern, the former will not drop below 100 for a longer time than the latter.

I think it has to do with the initial capacity.

15 Pro should have 3290 mAh +- a small error margin. But some get to have close to 3290, some get to have 3400 in the battery lottery.

Until it doesn't go below 3290, it will keep showing 100%.

Yes, that might be one aspect. But as far as I have gathered todays BMS are fairly advanced and take many things into account.

Yep. My 15 Pro battery had an original capacity of 3366 mAh from the factory and will likely be at 100% in the battery settings for some time.

The current capacity & BH numbers in real battery stats have been creeping up by small increments.
