Leaving iPhone turned on

I currently have my iPhone in its dock and plugged into my computer. I have turned off the auto-lock so the screen is constantly on (it looks better on my desk like that and I can see if I get any messages or emails).
My question is - will leaving it plugged into my computer (charging) and the screen turned on for most of the working day (9-5) have any lasting effects on either the battery or the screen?
I'm guessing that Apple will be bringing out an updated version of the iPhone within the next year and a half so realistically that will be as long as I will be keeping it. During this time I don't want to have to take it to an Apple store to get its battery changed or anything.
Thanks in advance, Will

In theory this should not hurt the battery and although any light source has a limited life, the life expectancy of the iPhone is yet to be determined because it is so new. As long as it's under warranty I would do whatever you want but if nothing goes wrong with the display while it is under warranty keep in mind that you used a fair amount of its life by leaving it on all the time. I know this may not answer your question but it may give you something to think about.

  • HT4528 Is it better to leave iPhone plugged in overnight or unplug and turn off?

    Is it better to leave iPhone plugged in all or turn off after 100%?

    Neither will have harmful effects on the battery. I would leave it overnight so it is still 100% charged when you wake up.

    How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on? I can see my macbook but I cant see the last location of my ipod touch. I lost it a few weeks ago and figured it would show up. But it has not and I need it again for my job. Please help.

    There is nothing you can do now. There are apps available from the app store that would give you that information if installed before it was lost/stolen.

    It should be telling you to download the latest iTunes on your computer... you can't install iTunes on your iPhone.

    That sounds like you have internal damage in the SIM card slot. Try taking the phone to an Apple store for evaluation. Make a genius bar appointment first at http://apple.com/retail.

  • Leaving Printer Turned-On

    My Epson printer just failed and I have recycled it. I customarily left it turned on 24/7 (unless I was going to be away for an extended time). I have just added a HP Photosmart Premium C310 Series. My question is what is the best practice with this HP device? Can I leave it turned on fulltime? My impression is that when it is first turned on all the chuckling and grinding may be using ink. Counter to that is that possible injury from leaving it turned on all the time. I would appreciate informed advice about this. Many thanks.  --jathegenial

    Hi,
    Yes you can leave it on 24/7 unless being away for extended time.  We have a C309a (last years model) and leave it on all of the time.  It goes into power saving mode to reduce power consumption.  We had a Photosmart 3210 AiO before this that worked for 6 years before we got the C309a and it was on 24/7 too.

  • HT201412 Normally the screen of the IPhone turns with you when you turn

    Normally the screen of the IPhone turns with you when you turn the phone on it's side.  Mine has stopped doing that.  My phone works fine, the screen just wont turn.  How do I fix that????

    Check to see if the orientation lock is on. Do you see what looks like a small lock with a circular arrow around it near the battery icon in the status bar? Swipe upwards from the bottom of the phone to bring up Control Center. The orientation lock is the last icon on the top row right. It is a toggle, white is on, black is off.

    First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
    Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
    I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
    Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

    My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

    That's normal behavior. It turns off automatically in order to preserve the battery. Pushing the On/Off button turns it on immediately. This also requires entering the passcode and prevents the phone from being accessed by anyone but you.

  • If iPhone is reset clearing data is find my iPhone turned off?

    If iPhone is reset clearing data is find my iPhone turned off?

    Yes, if you wipe the phone, you will no longer be able to track it.
    You can lock it with a pass code, but don't wipe it.

  • Is find my iphone turned "on" by default?

    Is "find my iPhone" turned "ON" by default when you purchase a brand new iPhone 4?  Or do you have to go into mobileme and turn it on yourself?

    Hi SEC09,
    The "Find My iPhone" is off by default, it must be toggled on in the settings menu.
    You can try to use the Find My iPhone login and see if there is any trace of it, but sadly this function can rather easily be disabled on the handset even if it has been enabled.
    Hope this helps.

    My iphone turns off and on repeatedly and wont charge?

    My software was up to date, I did a restore and a restart. My iphone kept turning off in the middle of the restore so it took a while. Nothing seemed to work. I left it charging over night and it did finally charge.
