Watts are Amps x Volts (eg. 10W is usually 2A x 5V). If the charger's amps exceed what a device needs, the device will only draw and the charger will only supply what the device needs so both the charger and the device will be ok as others have said. If the device requires more amps than the charger supplies, the draw will cook the charger but the device will be ok. The issue for a device is the Volts of the charger, which is the speed at which the amps are pushed. If the charger supplies amps too fast for a device, the push will fry the device but the charger will be ok. If the volts are too low the device will not charge and nothing will happen to the device or charger.
Most devices operate off 5, 9 or 12V. MacBook chargers supply amps at 20.2V, 9V, or 5.2V. The old iPhones operated at 5V so the 5.2V may be a little high and cause them to heat up. The new ones regulate between a cool but slow 5V and a fast but hot 9V. With this sort of regulation, new iPhones will like some chargers more than others in terms of speed and heat but as long as they are around the mark all should be ok. At a guess, I'd say the volts of your 70W car charger are too high and it is therefore pushing out amps too fast.
