That had me thinking as well. What if the manufacturer says that to get to that number you are only allowed to charge it to 80% ever? My iPhone pro battery is at 92% at 417 cycles over 20 months. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Do what EVs do: make 100% on the display not 100.0% electro-chemically and 0% not be 0.0% chemically. This is a serious suggestion, as I think it’s actually net beneficial for the consumer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

In that hypothetical scenario they should advertise 80% as the full capacity. Competition generally prevents this kind of "underclocking". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

So as far as I can tell, they can't do this as it's based on equivalent full-charge cycles - so that's nice at least. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
