Battery cycle count discrepancy on iPhone 16 Pro Max

Hello everyone I was using iPhone 16 pro max and I’m observing battery cycle count very strange. At first I was charged my mobile to 95% and discharged and I was used till it comes to 35% and I was observed 1 cycle count completed I just used 60% of charge still how come 1 cycle count completed. Please explain this?

A charge cycle happens when you use all of the battery's power—but that doesn't necessarily mean in a single charge.


For example, you could use half of your iphone's charge in one day, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two.


You'll have to trust the iPhone on Charge Cycles. It will be correct.
