iPhone 6s/6s Plus battery test results only

[vinzb]

It does make a big difference using Geekbench battery test and most likely on a day to day use, worst thing that can happen is an iOS update might make the Samsung chip a better battery saver... lol

Worst thing that can happen, is that the next iOS makes the TSMC less efficient, so that Samsung and TSMC have same battery life.

Unless two tests are done in a similarly configured device i.e. no apps, no backups restored, etc. then we would have a better result.

Now if all geekbench tests had almost similar battery scores... But they are all over the place.

Model: iPhone 6S Plus
Chip: TSMC
Storage: 64GB

Airplane mode. Screen dimmed. Apps all quit and phone restarted.

Mark my words, this could really happen !
It's definitely more difficult to add the 2h to the Samsung SoC than reducing 2h from the TSMC SoC with the next update.

there's enough results that show there's at least a 2 hr difference on the Geekbench results, testing two devices with the same specs and configs won't show the same score but definitely not a two hour difference...

Now that would be something to kick off about!! This better not happen...

I know, that's why it's so frustrating. I'd be peeved if they suddenly ruin my perfectly good battery life, along with everyone else's, to make up for having some devices being less than on par.

That would definitely create an uproar wouldn't it?

I think people are forgetting the Samsung chip is showing a slight performance edge on the TMSC chip, at least in the benchmarks I've seen. I think it's more likely that they'll throttle that back a smidge, it might not get them directly on par but it could get them a lot closer.

Oh. I have been mostly focusing on the battery information. The Samsung chip has higher performance scores in benchmark? Not that I mind, my phone works fine and I get amazing battery life.....

Well I guess it's the wrong thread but still seems relevant - this is the Samsung chip,

only takes a second or two to run in geek bench..

 

[J.C]

They won't change the phones with either chip. That's absurd.

 

[giodelgado]

Guys...

Geekbench got updated with support for iOS 9 and 6s/6s plus

Apple might have told the dev to fix results and provide similar scores...

RUN YOUR TESTS AGAIN!!!

 

[J.C]

That's absurd, too!

Apple has no issue with a very small number of us pointing out discrepancies between chips while using benchmarking software. They've done all this testing themselves. They've tested and tested and tested. They've decided the variation phone to phone under normal usage is acceptable. Regardless of chip. Risk management. They know people pull apart their devices, they know apps can tell us which phone has which chip. Regardless of which chip is in the phone they are satisfied with what they have brought to market. They aren't in the least bit worried. This issue has come and gone already. We're all just benchmarking our phones out of interest. Apple won't be recalling phones, forcing developers to sabotage results, or altering chip performance with software changes.

What? I returned mine and got another one luckily with a tsmc chip.

Apple, a company that lies on presentations about being the first bringing a feature, revolutionary, magical!

I feel I have better battery performance than with the Samsung chip.

Not 'exchange'. 'Change'. They won't react to what equates to a storm in a teacup by modifying their phones. The won't change the chips, tune the chips differently or withdraw either from sale. They made a statement and that's the end of it from their point of view.

Yeah that's who I'm taking about. Apple. The same guys you're taking about.

Model: iPhone 6s Plus/A1634
Chip: Samsung
Airplane mode, dim screen, lowest brightness, restarted phone, closed all apps in task switched before starting test. Setup as new phone and manually installed all apps back.

Edit: might run again tomorrow after Geekbench app is updated.

This is the result when I restored from backup, but did not restart, did not turned on airplane mode and middle brightness setting.

Geekbench app update now shows your chip manufacturer right under results

 

[waterface]

iPhone 6s on iOS 9.2.1
TSMC chip
Standard settings, airplane mode and all + disabled "Hey Siri".
Various apps installed, didn't want to restore as new just for doing the test.

coconutBattery says max charge is 94% of original (which I hope stays that way for a while..because I'm only at 36 load cycles). Results are pretty much in line.

Something I've seen in all the screenshots, not all the same iOS versions.
