Received my phone on launch day and finally got around to seeing what the battery cycle count was using Coconut Battery. I’m at 64. Just curious to see where everyone else is at.

Samsung devices can go through 500 cycles (2 years) and still maintain 95% of its original capacity. Apple needs to figure out its batteries so they can last just as long as the batteries in Samsung devices.

A full cycle is considered a full discharge of your battery from 100% to 0%, or the equivalent (in other words, going from 100 to 50 twice is considered 1 cycle). iPhone batteries are designed to hold at least 80% of original capacity for 500 cycles.

Thanks! It looks like I made a good move getting AppleCare+ on my iPhone X. My 7 Plus is at 212 so I should replace it before it's out of warranty.

"at least" is what they guarantee. They'll generally do more. I'm at about 70% life on my 6s Plus. No idea how many cycles, but I'd guess around 800 + cycles. I had over 1,100 cycles on my old iPhone 5, before it finally gave up. LOL

I have no idea. I’ve never once checked cycles on my phones since I get a new one every year. Cycles doesn’t matter to me.

Why do you have to swap so often? I think the last time I’ve swapped a phone for warranty was when I bent my 6 Plus.

I shouldn’t have said ‘always’. More like I usually get a device swap at least once before the one-year warranty ends. Chipped edges, camera shutter wouldn’t open even on a new restore, etc.
