Power IC issues occur when the IC of the iPhone is disrupted or damaged for some reason, causing the iPhone to malfunction.
However, you need to ensure that you are using a genuine iPhone, without replaced components or counterfeits. The verification process is quite simple; try the iPhone IMEI check method introduced by Mytour to assess the condition of the iPhone.
Causes of iPhone Power IC Failure
- Using counterfeit chargers can result in short circuits in the power supply.
- Charging the phone while in use can cause the power IC to overheat and deteriorate quickly.
- iPhone getting wet or encountering unfavorable weather conditions.
- Physical impacts such as collisions, drops, cause damage to the power IC.

Moreover, if an iPhone fails to power on, the issue could lie with other components such as the battery or screen cable. Hence, thorough inspection of the entire device is necessary to accurately determine the cause of the iPhone power IC failure.
IC failure differs from error 3194. While IC failure directly impacts the phone's usability, error 3194 occurs when connecting the iPhone to a computer via iTunes software for data restore or update. Fixing error 3194 is relatively simple, and it can be resolved without visiting a repair shop like IC issues.
In addition, iPhone users should always remember to check the iPhone's IMEI and verify its origin before deciding to purchase an iPhone from any store.
