How to check the battery charge cycle on iPhone

Charging cycle is not the number of charges, one cycle is equivalent to using 100% of the battery capacity. For example, today you use 75% of the battery, then charge it fully overnight. The next day you continue to use 25% more battery (ie 100% full), so your iPhone will count as a charging cycle.

When the iPhone has a charge cycle of more than 500, the device will no longer guarantee performance and quickly run out of battery, which causes a lot of unnecessary annoyances.
