, checked on apple site and it said its compatible with all iphone models ,

Question is : is the higher 12w doing any damage to the battery ?

as long as it's an official Apple iPad charger it's completely safe.

the lightning connector on iPhone 6 and above can draw the full 12w as opposed to 5w. I use my iPad charger as my nightly iPhone charger since day 1 and I have no issues it
