Which chip does your 6s(6s+) have?

[BlueGoldAce]

Samsung is 14nm, and TSMC is 16nm. Theoretically, the Samsung should hold in edge in battery life, performance, heat, etc.

The above site will tell you which chip you have (some other member posted this in a frontage thread).

Personally:

Silver 64gb iPhone 6s Plus: TSMC chip.

Andantech explains it better:

Based on what andantech says, we have to assume either the above "CPU identifier site" is a software based identification method, or total BS.

Is is possible to verify chip type without opening the device?

Random third party app from the internet. What could go wrong?

Lol. From China no less.

Wasn't it on the news that initially Apple was using TSMC to manufacture the A9, but due to insufficient yields it switched over to Samsung? So I would guess the same chip comes from two sources.

 

[Benched08]

Got a TSMC. I really don't think it makes a difference. Samsung's 14nm FinFet wasn't a true die shrink anyways, I'm not sure about TSMC's.

 

[MaciMac100]

I wonder if all the reviewers will get handpicked Samsung 14nm A9's... Heat, performance, battery life.

Not all apps from China are bad. Wechat is from China and it is awesome.

OT: Except for it being one of a handful of apps compromised by XCodeGhost.

I think they were referring to the Chinese apps that were infected recently. WeChat was one of the infected apps.

Did someone accidentally disable their sarcasm detector this morning?

Exactly! I always look for Chinese apps to download from non Apple site.

Does it matter to me what chip I have in my phone? No.
Does it matter to me that I could download malware? Yup

Sarcasm just floats right above your head, don't it?

 

[soms]

Yea...no way I'm trusting a Chinese profile from a random site.

Find another way to confirm chips.

And I should risk it why?

This a critical issue. Have my screw driver and hammer, gonna pry off screen to check. How do I remove cover over chip? Need some help here.

What is this thing you call sarcasm?

It's a very mysterious thing.

While I'm curious to see which chips in my phone, but I'm not anal nor stupid enough to download third party unknown software. thanks to you who would take one for the team

Definitely load the app, just ignore pop ups. Turn on pop up blockers.

I downloaded the app, but something is wrong, everything is in Chinese on my phone now. Do they have Chinese speaking genius at Apple Store?
