No, people do that all the time.

People say it will but it won't. New phones have fixed that problem.

Yes, overcharging in not beneficial for your mobile Because after getting fully charged the current reaching your battery damages its life duration. THINK LIKE A PHYSICIST OR ON A MICROSCOPIC LEVEL WHEN YOUR BATTERY IS EMPTY IT CONSUMES OR USES THE ELECTRICITY IN AN EFFICIENT MANNER BUT AFTER FULL CHARGE WHERE THAT PASSING CURRENG GOES… OBVIOUSLY TO THE BATTERY AND IT SPOILING IT BY IN CONTINUOUS CONTACT. SO, THATS WHY OVERCHARGING IS NOT SAFE, ALSO IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE DRAINAGE OF BATTERY AND LESS DURABILITY OG BATTRRY. NOTE: ALWAYS CHARGE YOUR MOBILE FREQUENTLY &UPTO 90% OR MAX.99% BECAUSE IT PREVENTS OVERCHARGING(DO THIS WHENEVER POSSIBLE) ALSO OVERCHARGING LOWERS CARBON FOOTPRINTS FROM THE ENVIRONMENT SAFETY'S POINT OF VIEW(THIS IS ANOTHER FIELD OF STUDY& I'M NOT GOING TO EXPLAIN IT IN THIS CATEGORY). So UNPLUG WHENEVER YOU ARE NEAR WHEN IT IS FULLY CHARGED OR UPTO 99%.

No, I also have an iPhone 5. When you plug in your phone it might get a little hot which is normal for all phones but the back of an iPhone is so thin, and made of glass, so you can feel the heat of the battery being charged. But be careful what you do when your phone is plugged in. If your phone is plugged in and you have earbuds in your ears listening to music and your on the Internet or playing a game or texting, doing all of that at the same time can make your phone to hot (I mean like put it to your face and it feels like it is made of fire) so you need to unplug it because the AT&T store told me it would melt the insides of the phone. That rarely happens though so you wouldn't need to worry

Newer phones, like the iPhone 5 and such are actually equipped with the ability to stop itself from charging when the battery has become full.So, though it is plugged up, it will not overcharge.

@Filled With Void, You would be right, IF we stilled lived in 2000. Electronics have made extraordinary leaps and bounds within the past decade, so having the technology to automatically stop a device from charging once it's full isn't inconceivable.
So jp, the answer is GO AHEAD. These phones are designed to stop their charge when necessary, so you don't have to worry about it.
