Bought 10/13 and I think I’m at 158 cycles lol

Nevermind. It’s 15. A shortcut I downloaded didn’t work right heh
 
Y’all realise your cycle counts are high because the 15 pro max is draining battery for no apparent reason , right ? This leads to more charging and reduced battery health… and quicker replacement of battery and more profits for apple

Don’t what you are doing with your phone but I Didn’t have any issues and since 17.1 battery life has been amazing.

Are you suggesting a deliberate move by Apple to increase profits this way?
(and, for the record, my 15pm has fantastic battery life)

15 pro max

manufacture date - july 2023
first use - september 2023 (launch day so 22nd)
cycle count - 12
battery health - 100%

i have charging set to 80% limit and always charge when it gets to 20-25%. despite "losing out" on ~40-45% battery life the battery life is great for me. i last charged to 80% at 13:08 on Thursday so it has been just over 28 hours since being charged (it's now 17:19 on Friday). I'm currently at 31% charge.

If i charged to 100% and used it to 5-10% then the battery life would be phenomenal!
