Q: Over Charge Iphone 6s
So I just switched from a android device to a Iphone 6s. I love it so far.
Anyhow. I noticed that the charge meter has some major lag.. Like.. If i charge my phone before going to work and say its at 97% it will stay at 97% for half the day at work. I dont heavyly use my phone but by the end of each day its down to around 70%. So after 3 hours it starts dropping..
Anyway my question is can I accidentally over charge this thing? Say if I leave it on the charger cause its at 97% all night (normally a restart will show the true battery percentage) will the battery meter saying its at 97% keep the phone charging even if its fully charged, thusly hurting the battery?
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2

You cannot overcharge an iPhone. You could leave it on the charger for days, and that would be fine.
The battery meter seems to behave something like a typical automobile fuel gage. It stays near full for a while, and then starts dropping, dropping more quickly as the battery becomes more depleted.
