is 98% battery health after 303 charge cycles good for iphone 16 pro max?

after using my iphone 16 pro max for about 9 months (soon to be 10), i've started to see my battery health drop for the first time so understandably i am a little wary now

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Is it good? NO, it's not good. It's OUTSTANDINGLY GOOD! As Mac Jim ID suggests, after 303 cycles, your battery health should be closer to 94%. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it as your battery is doing GREAT!

The battery should have been at 99% after 50 Charge Cycles and at 98% after 100 Charge Cycles.


The battery must have really been at 104-105% when it was new, but this would display as 100%.


Pat yourself on the back for your really great luck with your battery.
