Charge cycles are a more accurate measure of determining battery health decline instead of time. For example, if two people bought the same iPhone at the same time, but one used it more often, theirs would degrade faster.


Your iPhone 15 can expect to drop 1% per roughly 50 charge cycles on average. This number will vary as WheelieNick stated, battery health decline is really never linear. Some months more, some none. It also depends on factors that can exacerbate this decline quicker, such as conditions too hot or cold outside of the iPhone’s normal operating temperatures.
