Which chip does your 6s(6s+) have?
- Thread starter BlueGoldAce
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Numbers will vary slightly from 20-40 points on the same chip, let alone a comparison between brands. Below are my 6S 64gb TSMC results run back to back to back.
TSMC
2523 4415
2535 4396
2535 4421
2543 4434
2536 4424
2539 4421
2535 4429
My fastest of those 7 was only 11/21 points slow those your Samsung run. You're talking factions of percent on somethign that already varies so much each test that is done.

doesn't the battery test require that you essentially don't use your phone the entire time you have the app open? the makers of the app said somewhere that if you get out of the app in the foreground and just go about your business and continue to use the phone with the app running in the background, that it will no longer be accurate. Not sure if that's still the case, but that would require being without the phone for like 2 days, right?
ok, i guess this explains the correct procedure

I do. SG 128 Band 30 6S with TSMC. Obviously the phone has overheated to the point of exploding by now.
Like, every second. Curse you, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company!
I used my phone to cook eggs this morning. It was really nice. Then I designed art in my arm by using the phone to burn the skin. Then I had to recharge, because it only lasted 3 minutes off the charger and it was slow anyway.
Must be my Samsung A9.
Oh wait, I don't know which chip I have, but I'm guessing it was made by the kid down the street in his garage, since Apple obviously doesn't have, you know, testing and quality control standards or anything.

Can people with exploding phones caused by these chips also let us know which color they have? Thanks, guys.
I have system status app and it says N66AP, that is the Samsung right? It is on a 64gb Gold Plus.
iPhone 6+ S 64GB. Been amazing in every way. I have TSMC. My friend has Samsung. The first 3 tests we ran i was faster. Both phones have zero lag or issues, and as good battery as our last iPhone 6 Plus versions. These phones both smoke anything we have ever used, amazing in every way. No yellow tint, and they both run extremely cold.
However the Samsung is on AT&T and the TSMC is on T-Mobile and the one on T-Mobile smokes the Samsung phone on web browsing and downloads and overall network quality seems to affect the phones performance a lot more then processor.
I think this chip difference is a non-issue and is not related to problems customers are experiencing with freeze, lag or temps. Those are probably software issues.

Frigging Nora, I have never seen those speeds even over WiFi in the UK!
I bet web pages open up instantaneously.
Top is my WiFi, bottom my O2 4G result...

Can someone explain the processor speed (i.e. 1.84 ghz) in this context? I ask because I've seen different values (1.84, 1.85) but mine consistently shows 1.79 (though just now it was 1.81). I don't understand why this would be different or why it would change.
How do i download this app? It tells me it can't download right now and I can't go to the profile in general settings like the website instructs to trust the app because I have no profile tab option at all.
You do realize all processors scale their speeds depending on load. Have for probably 10 years in computers too. Your processor is not ALWAYS running at max speed that would make no sense at all
Could you run geekbench battery test and post results here? It would be interesting to see if there's any difference between TSMC and Samsung?
I can't get it to work either. Get the same message. How is everyone else getting this to work(I'm guessing 9.0.2 is what's preventing it from working)?
I love the internet....everyone thinks they are an expert. I wonder if Apple Engineers laugh at some accusations.
You can also use System Status (not free) straight from AppStore.
Details tab -> Device information
Look for entry "type".
6S:
n71ap = Samsung
n71map = TSMC
6S+:
n66ap = Samsung
n66map = TSMC
Ah shucks. I bit the bullet and installed geek bench. Just ran it and got 2562/4462 on the first run.
2nd run: 2563/4462
3rd run: 2563/4473
4th run: 2566/4472
Update: installed system status
Confirmed! N71AP
Ty!!
