I purchased my iPhone 14 Pro 6 days after it was officially released and my battery health is still at 100%.

-Almost 3 months old to the day on my iPhone 14 PM, 100%.
-The lightning port is virgin, it has never been used once. Only MagSafe charging.
-Due to the battery’s insane performance, I’ve yet to need to charge it outside my normal charge time (overnight) except once. I have put it on the MagSafe charger at bedtime every night since I bought it. I don’t look at the charge, I just stay on schedule and let optimization algos do the rest.

Was this done last year for the 13 Pro? Be interested if 100% 3 or 4 months in was the case for 13 Pro.

Same here. I charge mine overnight every night, but instead of a wireless charger, I use an old 5 watt charging block.

Conventional wisdom says the battery will last longer with the wired charging block. So you’re probably doing right with it. But once I used MagSafe for a while, plug in charging seems awkward and cumbersome.

I think optimization has made obsolete the belief ‘let it get to 15% then charge it. This saves the battery’. A Regular charging schedule makes optimization work its magic.

Had mine since Oct 2022. I take it off the charger around 6:30am and put it back on around 9pm (weekdays) and still at 100%.

Clearly my caffeine hasn’t kicked in yet because when I initially read your reply, I thought you were stating the battery level was still at 100% when you put it back on the charger at night.

I've been using my 14 Pro Max a little over a month, and still at 100% with heavy use. I expect it to stay at 100% for months. My 12 Pro Max stayed at 100% for over a year. I use wired fast charging only. My charging habits are too erratic for optimized charging, so don't use it. And I charge to 100% most of the time. I rarely let it get below 40% on discharge.

Maximum capacity still 100%.

No worries on the caffeine. I gotta have my 2-3…….pots every morning before I get a going.

I’ve had my 14 Pro Max since 11-23-22 (lucked up on one through Verizon during the China factory shutdown with long delays) and battery capacity is still 100% so not long enough for any change yet.

2-3……pots every morning? I thought my 5 cups was too much. Now I don’t feel so bad :)

2-3 pots ?!! well my coffee pots hold about an imperial Quart, so it can’t be that ! I limit myself to about half an imperial pint of expresso per day and that can be too much !
