iPhone 17 battery health drop to 99% normal?

I have been using my iphone 17 for almost 6 months now. The charging limit is set to 90% and my current cycle count is at 124. The battery health dropped to 99% yesterday. I just wanna ask if that is normal or is it too fast?

Yes, completely normal and actually better than expected. On average, for every 50 cycles, an iPhone 17 battery can lose about 1% in battery health. At 124 cycles, your battery should be at 97%-98%. In my case, on my iPhone 17 Pro Max, my battery health dipped to 99% at 47 cycles.


Maybe send flowers to Apple for your good fortune.
