I need an app to turn off the whole phone after user-selected time.
 
I have used Tune-in, complete with all its advertising, to play webraido
for a user-selected time up to 120 minute and turn off, but I'd like the
phone to turn off completely.

 
This is not possible since no user installed app is allowed to turn off
the phone by itself.

 
Okay. 
 
I guess I was spoiled by all my clock-radios.

 
Did they unplug themselves?

 
The first two we had unplugged any 110v device plugged into them.

 
I don't understand. A clock radio was something that woke you up with an
alarm or the radio which you needed to switch off manually. I don't know of
any with sockets that get "unplugged".

 
They didn't pull the plug out but they turned off the power to whatever
was plugged into the 110v socket in the back of the 110v clock radio.
 
They simultaneiously turned off the radio if the radio was on, but they
didn't turn off the clock, no matter what.

I was had refrained from asking, but what does iPhone do in this
situation.

 
What situation? You can't plug-in devices on an iphone.

 
Can you set an iPhone to turn itself off after a pre-set length of time.

Android may not do this but it doesn't seem to violate any inherent
rule.
