Hi,
Hardly (laughs). I just use one of the plans that let you lease as it were
the device and upgrade annually so I don't have to pay anything up front and
never in fact reach paying the entire cost of one before trading it in
(smile).
If I win the lottery I'll buy you an iPhone annually if you buy me new
windows and siding when you win how's that (smile)?
Robin

Hi,
While I don't dispute that which was said by an employee of Apple I have to
say I have an iPhone here that spends most of its life on its charger as
it's my beta testing unit and for the past 18 months it's had not one single
problem or displayed any evidence of swelling. I should also note that my
units are usually upgraded annually so I'm never working with older
batteries either.

This actually happened with two of my iPods, one was a 5 generation and one
was a 6, I had the 6th generation one fixed, but not the 5th generation. I
had them both plugged up most of the time and the tech said that it was me
keeping the device plugged up all the time that was the problem. Why else
would the battery swell on two different generations of iPods? What else
could have caused it if not keeping them plugged up? The 6th generation was
fairly new. I wanted to get them both fixed, but just the one cost me $150
to get repaired.

My laptop is always plugged in since I rarely use it away from the house and
the same was true with my previousl laptop and even after over 5 years it
still holds a decent charge when I do unplug it.
As other said, modern batteries can handle this easily and the problem with
the battery that swelled surely was a different issue and would eventually
have happened regardless. After all look at the Note 7 disaster where
devices which weren't even plugged in at all burst into flames.

Sieghard

It could harm older battery technologies such as NICD, but with lithium ion
batteries, when the battery is charged, the charging circuit turns off,
there is no such thing as a trickle charge for these kinds of batteries, so
leaving it connected to a charger should be fine.

Hello everyone
Does it do more harm than good if I leave my iPhone 8 on a charger all
the time?
I have read somewhere that phones and tablets only have so many:
charge cycles before they can't hold a charge anymore.
I have been told by apple that they recommend not: fully discharge the
device but top it up regularly. However, I wasn't sure about leaving
it on the charger for all of the time. Obviously though, I would take
it off if I had to go out somewhere.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can clear up if leaving on charge is
either good: or bad for the overall health of an iPhone 8 battery.
