iPhone users warned about little known 'battery killer' mistake

People with iPhones are being warned not to make a common mistake which could compromise the battery.

Apple users are being warned against using their phones while they're plugged in and charging, as it may be extremely bad for the battery. It's been reported there's evidence using the device while it's charging can disrupt the charge cycle as well as reducing the battery life.

This is especially true if you are using your phone to play games or watch videos - both of which are considered to be processor-intensive tasks. These types of actions can increase the strain on your iPhone's battery because it is simultaneously charging and discharging your device, MirrorOnline reports.
