This happened to me on the iPhone 5 my employer provided me, and I most
definitely did not leave it on the charger all of the time. I know this
is anecdotal but I don't think a swelling battery has anything to do
with whether you leave your phone charging or not, but it's probably
more likely do to a defective battery or phone. Of course it's unlikely,
but maybe someone just got two phones with defective batteries.
There's a lot on the web about this, but most of the resources I've seen
claim that it's OK to leave your phone charging all of the time. The
electronics in the battery and the phone should take care of things for
you. Here's just one such article I found
http://www.businessinsider.com/safe-charge-smartphone-overnight-2017-8
Someone from Apple may tell you it's your fault since they're working
under the same misconceptions as others in the general public. they may
also tell you this because they don't want to let you know there may be
a problem with Apple's batteries or electronics in their iPhones.

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.

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.
