So I'm doing most of my work from home these days; and my iPhone is sitting next to my computer on it's charger for most of the day. Is this bad for the battery? Will I have to eventually worry about an "expanding battery" issue some time in the future? Or is this a non issue?
Thanks
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16
Lithium ion batteries can expand as they age. It's not unexpected behavior. You should make sure that, when the battery's maximum capacity drops below 80%, you have it replaced.
But as ProustGiulio noted, leaving it on the charger won't hurt it.

So it's more a question of an old battery. I see. I have an older ipad plugged in all the time; but since it's running an older operating system; there is no battery health section. I suppose I should ultimately replace the battery; it's probably 8 or 9 years old.
Battery age is partly a function of years and partly a function of number of charges cycles.
You can have Apple run diagnostics.

No harms nor overcharging problems to your device and its battery.
