I bought a new iPhone 6S plus and decided to test the battery out by playing games. It drops to 50% battery life (from 100%) if I play Real Racing 3 for 4 hours and 9 hours in standby.

Is that good in comparison to a TSMC iPhone 6S plus under the same usage?

You play a game for 3 or 4 hours on your phone? Seriously?

Under normal usage I get 3 full days of battery life, hence why I wanted to know what the battery life would be under real world heavy usage, since I read that the TMSC are better under heavy usage.

It would be a shame if the battery life is nothing if you do anything intensive, which isn't the case luckily.

He said he was testing the battery life

The difference in battery life between the chips varies within 2-3% under stress.
I haven't read anything that suggests how much time that is. It could mean 30 minutes or 1 hour or just 5 minutes.
 
I'm only getting 6 hours of usage and 9 hours of standby on my 6s plus. I've only had it for 2 days and I don't use it more than I have used other phones
