iPhone Users Can Check Battery Health and Charge Cycles in Settings After 100% Use

Summary
Apple’s built-in Battery Health menu lets iPhone users view maximum capacity and, on supported models, charge-cycle counts without installing a separate app.
A charge cycle is logged after cumulative use of 100% of the battery’s capacity, while maximum capacity shows how much charge the battery still holds versus when it was new.
Settings paths vary by model—older devices such as the iPhone 13 may show “Battery Health & Charging” instead—but users can still check capacity decline and performance status.
That data can help owners decide when to replace a battery and help used-iPhone buyers estimate wear and the likelihood of near-term replacement costs.
Noticeably shorter runtime after a full charge or more frequent charging is a practical signal to review these readings regularly, especially for long-term use.
