Battery

If you leave your IPhone plugged into the outlet to charge all night will it caused the battery to wear down and act up?

Will it have any negative affects?

I use iphones since 2008 and I've always charged them overnight, everynight.

Battery life won't be affected, since it's measured in cycles.

1 charging cycle = from 0 to 100%

1/2 charging cycle = from 50 to 100%

1/4 charging cycle = from 75 to 100%

Iphones batteries lifesfan is around 500 cycles.

The olny precaution is, if possbile: do not let the battery level go down below 20%
