Is it normal for the battery health of a MacBook Air M1 to drop to 92% after 189 cycles? I bought it 9 months ago.
My iPhone 11 PM after more than 3 years and about over 600-700 cycles is also at 92%!

Hi TM75LAO,
That does not sound like it is out of the ordinary or unexpected as batteries in Macs differ from batteries in iOS devices. You can see the expected life expectancy as related to cycle count in this resource: Determine battery cycle count for Mac laptops - Apple Support
You can also find more related battery information that may be helpful, here: Get help with your Mac laptop battery - Apple Support
If you still have questions, reach out to Apple Support directly, as this may require closer guidance: Get Support
Cheers!
Rechargeable batteries can lose some initial charge quickly and the last for a long time at that level before losing capacity, some will hold initial capacity for a long time and then start to lose capacity, some will start slowly losing capacity from day one, and any other possible combinations you can think of. It is just the nature of rechargeable batteries.
FWIW, don't try to micromanage your battery and just use the Mac. If you reach a point in time where the working time on battery is not long enough to meet your needs, then start to worry or just get the battery replaced.
this depends on your charging behavior but this can be rather normal, yes
