Any discussion of "hours of use" without "charge cycles" is
meaningless.

 And yet longer run times equate to fewer cycles

The problem with you zealots is you don't understand basic math.
Fewer cycles don't matter if the battery can't handle as many cycles.
There's a reason iPhone batteries need to be replaced more often, JR.
Apple iPhones start with el cheapo laughably puny substandard batteries.
And there's a reason the EU forced Apple to disclose the battery life too.
Notice how pitifully short that disclosed Apple iPhone battery life is.
Why do you think Apple's disclosures shows pitifully few charge cycles?
The most critical determinant of overall battery life, is initial capacity.
How long a battery lasts per day is DIFFERENT than the battery's lifetime
because any given battery has a DIFFERENT number of charge cycles in it.
None of your zealot arguments takes into account Apple's deplorable lack of
batteries being able to handle the charge cycles that Android batteries do.
Remember, nobody replaces more batteries yearly than does Apple.
The REASON for Apple's deplorable lack of charge cycles is the capacity.
What nospam used to claim was Apple's well advertised "vaunted efficiency".
However, Apple's admirable 1% to 2% increase in efficiency can never make
up for a 200% decrease in battery capacity, no matter what math you use.
The most critical determinant of overall battery life, is initial capacity.
No amount of slick Apple MARKETING can overcome its lack of charge cycles.
