Mine had 1 cycle out of the box. Sealed and brand new from Apple. First time seeing 1 cycle on a new phone.
Was yours manufactured in July? Mine was and I had 1 cycle, my wife’s was August and she had 0 cycles? Could they have been charged in storage after a month of sitting there?
 
Sounds like no consistency here.

I consider myself a light user and my 16PM only has 2 cycle counts in 9 days.

Im on 42% battery now which will last me another 3 days or so down to around 20%
