No, not with lithium batteries and sophisticated chargers of today ... they don't even start charging until your battery to depleted down to a preset level to avoid this very issue ... the phone will just operate off of the charger's power if the battery is above the preset threshhold for charging.

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.
