Comparison to the charging ic chip to later model of iPhone.

I've been doing research & it tells me that the iPhone 5 SE has the same tristar ic chip as the iPhone 6s? And I would like to know if u can swap the chip from IP 5 SE an use it on the IP 6s due to my phone not powering on nor charging just a black screen.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Charge ic Is Tigris Not Tristar.

Tigris is interchangeable with 6s

Tristar is USB communication IC.

Tristar for the 6s is 1610A3 and don’t recommend to be swapped.

This type of work need micro soldering best to get a professional to fit a new ic.

Though Tristar still affects the charging

Yes that's correct it effects the communication between tristar and tigris.

With tristar down it will not allow it to communicate with charge circuit preventing charge.

the 1610a3 is backwards compatible (it can be used in place of the older 1610a2, 1610a1) but ive never tried to use a 1610a1 in place of a 1610a3.
