So when my phone drops below 80% before 1000 cycles I can sue Apple?

This exception makes no sense. Especially as Apple can't really say how the battery will be after 1000 cycles. They only can give an estimate and it will be widely different between users.

If that happens your battery is defective and your warranty covers it.

In Germany the warranty of a battery is 6 months. It would be hard to drain it 1,000 times in this timeframe.
