Default Is Charging the iPhone Overnight Bad?

i'm scared that it'll be bad for the battery in the long run
and how long does it usually take for a full charge?

if it is, I'm going to jail.

There is no problem with connecting your iPhone to charge as often or as long as you like. It likes to be charged, and will not complain when left connected after being fully charged. Just do it.

I would say on AC power (not USB), it should charge in 1.5-2 hours

The phone charges pretty quick as others have said. I leave mine on the charge overnight, every night.

I don't charge mine overnight or even during the day or quite frankly at all!
