Doubtful. From you? Impossible.

 You make this mistake of basic arithmetic a lot, Chris, given you claimed
the 30K subunit size of the SARS-COV-2 viral genome was not huge for what
it was. Remember that? I do. You have no idea about mathematical concepts.
 You need a basic refresher course in arithmetic.
 A 1% increase in efficiency does not overcome a 100% decrease in capacity.
 My free (~180MSRP at the time) Samsung Galaxy A32-5G, which was born in
2021, has a battery capacity that dwarfs that of every iPhone ever built.
 Given there is no metric more important than battery capacity for the
lifetime of a battery (based on charge cycles to 80%), that's important.
 There's a reason my 4-year old Android lasts for days on end, Chris.
While you're frantically charging your cheap-ass iPhone every night.
 Apple puts the crappiest batteries they can get away with in the iPhone.
Paradoxically, the batteries in the iPads aren't all that bad. Go figure.
 

Which phone is *always* going to reach the degradation point first in time?

Irrelevant. You're letting your bias cloud your judgement, yet again.

 No Chris. It's simple arithmetic. For you to claim math is bias is what you
Apple trolls do because you're desperate to defend Apple to the death.
 

The EU regs require that a battery retains a minimum 80% of its capacity
for at least 1000 cycles. It doesn't matter whether that 80% is 8000 or 800
mAh nor that the 1000 cycles take two years or two weeks of typical usage.

All scenarios are equally compliant.

 No Chris. You don't understand arithmetic.
 I repeat the argument that you do not understand, and if you want to
discuss this mathematical argument, please do so as an adult would Chris.
 Take two similar phones, where one has a cheap battery (obviously that's
the iPhone) and the other has a battery double its size.
 Use those two phones similarly every day for a couple of years, charging
the iPhone every night (because you have to) and charging the Android when
it needs it (because it doesn't need to be charged overnight like iPhones).
 Knowing that a "charge cycle" is not the number of charges, but the number
of 100% charges, add them up.
