Can I tell if I have a TSMC or a Samsung chip without installing anything on my iPhone 6s Plus?

Did you read the other posts in this thread? It walks you step by step through the clicks to find the logs. Don't feel like typing it all out again.

I was able to download lirum app. I don't have the Samsung one so that's good

LOL. I wasn't going to look, but I already had an app on my phone with that capability. So I looked...

Fine! You got me to look! N66mAP, so I guess that's TSMC. Is the N71 different, or is that the one in the regular 6s- mine is the plus.
 
I don't understand why Apple can't just tell you which chip is in that particular iPhone 6s/6s plus

I'd like to know which chip is inside my iPhone 6s Plus - TSMC or Samsung? Is there anyway I can say which one I have just by checking the serial number or IMEI number of the phone? I don't want to install any 3rd party software to do this.[/QUOTI

Yes its possible send your phone to ifixit guys. They will not turn on your iPhone but took it apart and will immediately let you know which chip is it. They will reassembled it and will send you back. Keep in mind that they did not turn on the iPhone so there is no chance that there would be any 3rd party app be installed. You will get your result just the way you like it. After knowing the chip type its up to you whether you keep your iPhone or sell it by weight.

You know what? I may be happier if I don't know. If I find out I have the Samsung, I'll be disappointed for mostly no reason, and if I have the TSMC I'll feel superior for next to no reason, and realize I'm being shallow. I think I should just be happy with my new phone.

That's hilarious. And true. :)
 
I’m getting at least 25-40 hours worth of battery life on my 6s plus so i could care less...but guessing i don’t have a Samsung chip given my battery life

You know how people are.

We're going to want that demonstrable 2.5% extra battery life.

I think it is a Samsung plot to make Apple look bad.

I agree with you about the Samsung plot thing. Now so many people will return the phones and it will be a loss to Apple. Plus people will have less confidence on Apple. It is a big issue that's why Apple immediately responded to this issue. Apple must be predicting lot of returns for this reason that's why they responded to avoid returns. To be honest I would have return it too if it's Samsung chip. I don't like Samsung products I have their tablets and they lag. Even if it's Samsung plot to look Apple bad in the end Samsung will look bad because they make inferior chip.
