That is not up-to-date information that you have. You can find plenty of batteries keeping 80% of the original charge after 1000 cycles or more.

Yep. I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air and the battery still lasts 3-4 hours, which is reasonably close to the original specs, especially considering 5 years of constant, everyday use.

At 1000 cycles my 2 year old Note4 battery probably still held 80% of it's charge, but it's my go to internet/entertainment device and I charge it 2 or 3 times daily. All the sudden 1000 cycles isn't that many cycles- but who cares when the battery is replacable? This phone should be good for 2 more years so long as I don't drop it in the toilet.
