Haha. That is not going to happen in the next couple of years. Contrary to popular belief, Intel has no advantage over TSMC or Samsung outside of its own bubble called x86.

Are you returning your Samsung chip iPhone for a TSMC?

I've been with Android since 2010 (recently flipped to iOS) and bought and used many devices from a $20 Moto G to a $750 Note 4. That $20 Moto G would serve over 90% of everyone that owns a iPhone. And you want to know why people don't use it? It's because they are picky. People here don't want to use Android and they find the hardware inferior. To me that's being picky and there is nothing wrong with that.
We do this with food all the time. I hate Burger King because I'm picky. You may not like a certain girl/guy because you're picky. No different when it comes to gadgets. It's the primary reason why you're reading this forum; because you're picky.
Returned my first 6s plus because of loose mute switch and screen darkness. Battery life was more then acceptable, was a Samsung, my second phone is also a Samsung but so far battery life is equally impressive and no more screen issues or loose switches
More then happy
More then happy
I've charged my phone last night before getting a facetime call, this morning after facetime video on pause through the night, i left to take a timelapse for an hour in town with 90%, i arrived back home with 72% after also having skype open in a call. I listeened to a podcast that lasted an hour and 25 minutes, while playing minecraft. The phone was 67% - went to parents where i had to constantly txt ppl and look things up for mom on safari, the 4g switching in bad 4g area, switching to their wifi which kept dropping made the phone go down to 52%, back on skype on the way back home, and arrived now at 23:30 (almost midnight again) and the phone's not yet below 50%. That's basically a day of usage with it in my pocket the whole time, in a call through the night, used for intensive tasks, showing pics and videos to parents, podcasting, music, etc. And i can probably leave it at 50%, use it tomrrow when i ride my bike to listen to another podcast and music, take pictures and a slo-mo clip for a project.. and come home with it not near being dead.
Unless the tmcs gives me a third day, i dont see why it matters, ther'es nothing wrong with the samsung, at .. all ..
People that worry this much probably charge their phone as soon as it hits 99% and come online to complain about it (since we're generalizing
hehe).so i read
TSMC: N766mAP
Samsung: N66AP
but my phone reads N66mAP...do i have the TSMC or the Samsung?

And so we bid a fond farewell to another epic iPhone launch. Sun setting in the west, red skyed clouds, reflecting the last muted strains of Armageddon.....Our minds wander to eleven months hence, contemplating what new plague on our sanity Apple will put us through with the iPhone 7. Perhaps the chip wars will resume focusing in on the Intel vs Qualcomm radio chip......or some hither to unknown issue to vex at our perfectionist longings.the last surviving thread of madness..
the last surviving thread of madness..
Don't worry, threads like this are self-replicating.
Now you can consult each other in this time of need. Very cool.
I previously said I'd be keeping my Samsung-chipped 6s Plus. Well, turns out I just had it replaced due to the headphone port being too loose (jack would slide out very easily and audio would cut out)... and my replacement has the TSMC chip.
Still restoring data, so no ideas about battery life. I have a good idea of what I was getting with the old unit (had been using it heavily over the last week), so I may report back with this new unit's performance.
To be honest, though, I'm not expecting any noticeable difference. At least not in anything other than gaming, maybe...

Will do.
Give me a couple of days and I'll quote you in another post detailing my findings.I had a 6+ that averaged 3-4 days of battery life which was better than any iphone I ever owned. I bought a 6S+ and averaged 2 days max over 14 days. I had the Samsung chip. On the 14th day I spent over an hour trying to exchange the phone (I didn't mention the chip issue) where they finally just exchanged it through the Genius Bar. My new 6S+ has the TSMC chip. I fully charged it Friday night and it currently has 31% remaining.
I am confused... I have a Samsung chip myself and I am not sure if the battery life I have now is normal...
Should I exchange it for another one or is it just fine?
It is an iPhone 6s. My previous iPhone was an iPhone 5.
On Geekbench I get 03:59:30 and a battery score of 2395.
I have now 24% left and it has been in standy for just over 32 hours and I used it 3 hours and 34 minutes.
You can see that I also played a 3D game, but only during 29 minutes.
Is this normal battery life? I am under the impression that it is not incredibly good actually...
What should I do? Is it normal and I should just keep it or should I swap it?
Indeed, I signed up just for this, any help is very welcome!
On Friday my 14 day return period will end.

So what if you return if and get another Samsung, and then return it for another Samsung and again and again and again... enjoy your iPhone. Don't let these busy bodies ruin your experience. If you're happy with it then don't let synthetic testing dictate your experience with your phone.
Exactly. I returned a T-mobile iPhone 6+ (had some issues) and got a sim-free. The T-mobile was TSMC and my new one is Samsung. I know it's anecdotal, but I seem to have better battery life with the Samsung than I did with the TSMC. I think this debate is driven by overly obsessive people, and normal folk who are on this forum are getting swept up in the madness. While I do suspect that the TSMC might marginally be the better chip, there is no way a person will be able to tell they have one chip over the other except finding out via an app. Performance certainly would not be an indicator.
It died over a day ago, but like a dead fish is stinking up the forum.
i dont know whether i should care about this anymore - if i got the iphone 6s and ended up with the samsung, it would probably be fine for everyday use and i'd be happy with it, but in the back of my mind i'd always be thinking "i have the worse chip". i wish i didn't know about this issue.
