Samsung and TSMC iPhone 6s Chips Show Smaller Real-World Battery Impacts Compared to Benchmarks

Battery life difference of 10-20% for heavy use is a big deal to me. I mean I'd rather have a 10% performance decrease than a 10% battery decrease. How many of us have found ourselves below 20% or 10%. Not often, but enough.
Plus Apple PR is saying 2-3%, you can bet that is the BEST case scenario.
Back this goes (when I have time).

The Sammy S6 is faster than a TSMC 6S. Also, The Sammy 6S battery will last longer over time. You will notice significant battery loss over time...like around 6 months of use. The Sammy 6S will continue to perform just as it was from day one.

My 2012 retina MacBook Pro with the Samsung display in my opinion is 22% better than the LG display. Yes apple ships devices that have variances due to using different parts. Personally I find a screen to be a bigger issue than battery life as normal usage varies so much when it comes to users.
One can argue there is a better device each product lifecycle , and yes apple believe they can get away with it, it's annoying Greeks that pull them up on it.
There are many many examples of this in the forums, the average user though has no idea .
Only antenna gate, as it resulted in everyone getting a free case from Apple.
Was that not the retina MacBook Pro, Samsung v LG screens . And I agree, big difference.

I meant that Apple demonstrated that every other phone produced by other companies had an "Antennagate " if touched in the right spot
Ah thanks for the clarification. I don't remember Apple taking that angle with it.. Though it sounds like an "Apple excuse"..
. And it's not really accurate. Bottom line - placement of antenna in iPh4 was a design flaw, one that Apple was unwilling to admit at first - making the "cover up" worthy of the scandal name "Antenna-gate".. Jury's still out for me as to whether this chip thing this year will be worthy of the "...-gate" name or not. It's Apples posture in it all that makes it worthy of the scandal name or not.
how is that? what's the majority? 80%? less?
i wonder if we can check the model number somehow...
That is wrong . Apple tried to demonstrate, big difference to did demonstrate.
It was a half arsed attempt to deflect a design flaw .
Apples Right spot on the iPhone 4 was the natural position in hand.
Apple DID demonstrated, and I could reproduce the effect on the Blackberry I had at the time.
You said Apple demonstrated it on all phones , that's rubbish, you are cherry picking. Read the articles around the time , the industry had a good laugh at Apple at these demonstration .
Were you holding you blackberry in normal posting? I think your missing the point of the design flaw!!'
Right, your savior Steve Jobs said it so it must be true
That was debunked several times. Quit quoting a marketing department as truth. This is brainwashing. Not good.
It wasn't debunked and I personally saw the issue on a Blackberry. Nokia phones had the same behavior. EVERY gsm phone with internal antenna has it to some extent.Right, your savior Steve Jobs said it so it must be true

To some extent. It was proven the iphone 4 was worse to the point it impacted usability. It was a flaw. Remember consumer reports compared to other phones and didn't recommend the 4? Do you forget this quickly??
It didn't impact usability for millions and millions of user.... Fortunately not everyone had to cope with poor AT&T coverage in the world
yea, in fact, i would've preferred another issue like this, which is solvable with a simple case, than getting a worse chip than others (unsolvable)
well, actually it can be viewed in another way: one chip is slightly better than other
Right. Or just buy an accessory to make your phone work. Maybe that was OK with millions of millions, but doesn't make it any less a flaw.
yea, but why there should ever be a better chip for the same phone i payed good $ for?
quite insane when you think about it (that Apple went through with this thinking that power users won't mind).
Dude , I can drop bars on my iPhone 6s , if I cover it up in an unnatural manner !
You are still ignoring the flaw that was placement of the antennas on the iPhone 4.
For a guy trying to come across as tech savvy, how can you not comprehend this? It's a credibility issue.
The amount the people buy into the "cult of apple" is insane. I'm not saying the way some people are reacting to this is justified (or sane) but to flat out defend apple every step of the way is ridiculous too. They are a for profit company, not some charitable organization. Also, they do make mistakes from time to time. AntennaGate was a bad move on their part. Otherwise I would have never received a FREE case over it.
An to tell a customer "try not to hold it that way" is crazy. Let them hold it how they normally would or want to! The same with people that put the iphone 4 in their back pocket, and the iphone 5 in their back pocket and then all the sudden they do the same with the 6 and it bends! Then people are saying "Stupid! Don't put the phone in your pocket!" Now they're telling you how you can carry your phone?
If Apple admits a 3% difference you can bet your bottom dollar that number is probably at least double 6% or triple 9%. They are going to spin it in the most PR FRIENDLY way possible. They aren't going to give you the "worst possible case scenario" and "make themselves look bad". They just won't no company would not saying I would do any different!
