It's not good to leave the charger connected all the time. This is why Apple added that feature in battery settings called optimized charging. This learns your sleep habits and keeps your battery at 80 percent for most of the night and kicks in and finishes charging up to 100 percent before you wake up. Lithium ion batteries don't like stress. They are under the most stress when fully charged at 100 percent and below about 15 percent. So that's why Apple says keeping your battery between these points is best for long life.

Hello All,

Okay, based on my research I cannot find any Apple articles that discouraged
leaving an iPhone 14 on a charger, when not in use.

You old-timers will recall that, once upon a time, it was recommended that
one not leave a phone on a charger, when not in use, full-time.  It was
thought that doing so would shorten the life of the battery.

I found an Apple community thread that discusses this and the conclusion is
that leaving a 14 attached to a charger, when not in use, will, in no way
damage or shorten the life of the battery.

Question:  Does anyone have any credible statements / sources to the
contrary?  If so, please post them as this can make a difference to the life
of the battery, in the long run.

Unlike in the past, I want to consider all aspects of keeping my iPhone
battery healthy from the very beginning.

All replies greatly appreciated.

Mark
