Is it ok to leave your iphone plugged in all day even if the battery is fully charged?

The icon over the battery changes to a plug after it has been fully charged so to me it seems as though the phone is running off of power from the cable. Am I right in this assumption or am I damaging my battery?

you cannot overcharge the iPhone battery. You can leave it plugged in with a full charge for as long as you want. It will not affect the battery at all.

I work from my truck. I use my iPhone almost continuasly. Is it ok just to leave it plugged into the charger all day? So the battery is fully charged when I leave my truck.

Yes. Charging automatically stops when your battery is full, & you can't overcharge.

My iPhone has started buzzing or beeping for unknown reasons. It seems to happen when the battery is fully charged as well.

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! They said it should be pulsating but it's not

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

my iPhone 5s does not turn on at all , so I can't reset as it is recommended here in support... iTunes message that is in recovery mode... gives Error 40

Hold down the Power and Home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds, or until the Apple logo appears. That forces it into a reboot. If that doesn't work, contact Apple for warranty replacement.

Should I keep iPhone plugged in all day or is that bad for it?

.. i.e. will that overcharge or hurt it in any way?
Thanks

Just to expand on Ron's and Glor's answers, not only is leaving it plugged in frequently not bad, it's actually good, in that you'll put fewer cycles on the battery over time, which will prolong the battery lifespan. Lithium batteries do need to be used to maintain health, but the best usage is frequent and light (i.e. few deep discharges). Leaving it plugged in most (but not all) of the time is beneficial (just not necessarily practical for most mobile phone users).
Any lithium battery is good for 400-500 charge cycles, or ~3 years, whichever comes first.

My iPhone 4s won't turn on and the battery won't charge

Hello,my iPhone 4s battery has been completely drained and when I try to charge it, it shows the screen telling you to plug in the charger (even though the charger IS plugged in) Is something wrong?

Sorry, but we can't help you with problems occurring after you have opened and tried to fix some hardware of the phone, due to the Terms of Use of these discussions.
The warranty for the phone is gone now and Apple will not service the phone either anymore. You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair center to get that fixed.

My iphone won't stay on, even with the battery at 100%.

My iphone 3gs keeps dying. It won't synch or be recognised by the computer. I spent the whole day yesterday trying and eventually it did restore and stayed on for a few hours but has died again, despite the battery being at 98%. I tried holding down the buttons but that does nothing. I got a new one 18 months ago after my first one broke down, so think my Applecare is done. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. TY

Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

Hey everyone I recently bought a iPod touch 5gen and the battery dosent fully charge I leave it on the charger for 2 to 3 hrs and it remains at 40 sometimes 20 percent what can it be and how can I fix it?

I recently bought a new iPod 5gen and the iPod dosent hold it's charge it stays at 40 sometimes 20 percent half an hr goes by and it says it's fully charged once I unplug it it says it has 20 percent what can I do to fix it or what can I do about it?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
