FWIW, Apple's current batteries are stated to last 1000 cycles until they reach 80% capacity. [0]

Anecdotally I have 98% capacity at 248 cycles on my 15 pro. I use an 80% charge limit as I don't use that much battery in a day.

The 80% charge limit will dramatically extend the lifespan.

It turns out the top few percent is what really damages the cells - which means there is always an inherent capacity vs cycle life tradeoff.
