    Does 400 charge cycles really amount to just over a year of use for most people? I’m assuming one cycle means a full power cycle, not just a top up.

    For reference (and I understand it’s a bit apples to oranges) I’ve had my iPhone 15 since Dec 2023 and charge it every night and it’s currently showing 125 charge cycles.

      I would asssume a “cycle” is a 100% drop. Mine is capped to 80% charge and I assume it ticks up 4 cycles for every 5 charges from zero.
