15 pro max update ios18.0 battery cycle counts issue

After updating my iPhone 15 Pro Max to iOS 18.0 on September 26, I noticed that the battery cycle count has increased abnormally. Before the update（186 cycle times), it averaged one cycle every two days, but now it increases by one cycle per day（191 cycle times). Is this Apple’s way of forcing users to upgrade to a new iPhone? Have others experienced this issue as well?

iPhone 16 Pro battery usage in iOS 26 iPhone 16 Pro battery usage in iOS 26 I recently upgraded my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26.3 from Sequoia.. Battery usage is UP significantly since the upgrade. This statement is base on bth my perception and iOS Battery usage graphs. I upgraded 3 days ago from the latest Sequoia iOS (15.something), ALL 3 days show above average battery use. Maybe 3 days is just a small sample, but it is enough to have me concerned. The only reason I upgraded was to get current Sequoia security patches which were unavailable for this model iPhone. The learning curve in this upgrade is punishing enough and the added pain of increased battery usage is downright ugly.

Battery cycle count of 3 for a new iPhone 16 Pro I have seen a YouTube video saying if the cycle count of any new phone is more than 2, one should raise this concern to apple! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

IOS update 17.1.2 leading to faster battery drain in 15 pro max recently updated the 15 pro max to ios 17.1.2 and noticed that the battery is draining much faster than normal even when the phone is not being used. I got the device 2 weeks ago and it has been giving me 24 to 26 hours of battery time based on the usage, but now that has decreased to around 18 hours of minimal usage . As i sit here writing this, the battery just dropped another percent. @Apple - kindly fix this !!!!
