technically this is not a battery question but connected. I bought an ankor charger when I had my iPhone 7. It was about as big as a candy bar. If I didn't use it to charge my 7 during the day, I left it plugged in (only because I usually forgot to take it out). When I got my 8 Plus I began to notice I would only get about 40 percent charge. Eventually I bought a bigger charger which does a fantastic job, just a bit larger than the other one. Did I get less life from the charger because there is a bigger battery in the 8 Plus or did I wear it down by keeping it plugged? My roommate has it now, and her phone is an Android only about 1 inch smaller around the case. Thank goodness it is working beautifully for her so I kind of know the answer or what I think it is. Glad I could get more use out of it, though.
