I have an iPhone 6s. I used to charge it using the iPad charger (2.5A) or my powerbank (2.1A). Recently my iPhone went dead and would not charge again at all. A visit to the service centre and I was told that the phone's motherboard is affected. Can charging at higher amps (2.1A instead of 1.0A) affect the phone's motherboard in a long run? Need to be enlighten on this. Thank you.
iPhone 6s, iOS 11.4.1
No, the charger rating only indicates the maximum capability. The actual charging current is controlled by the device being charged, and any excess rating is ignored. Think of it like driving a 600hp sports car in heavy traffic, and your foot only asks for 50hp in second gear
Thank you for your reply. If that is the case, what could be the possible causes for my motherboard failure?
High temperature device
Bad luck, water, random component failure, your guess is as good as mine.

Does charging damage the motherboard?
