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

I think it does...if what the poster above posted, you look at the first screen; mode:---mAP etc.
Well, not wanting to put the cat amongst the pigeons but I had to return my Samsung-equipped 6S+ for exchange due to a home button fault and my replacement has a TSMC chip. The battery life seems ever so slightly worse, and the speed of the phone is ever so slightly less...
I have only just checked the chip in this phone out of curiosity, and I had made my mind up about the battery and speed before doing so.
Both running 9.0.1 and with a similar usage pattern. Purely anecdotal and based on a couple of charge cycles with two phones. Is there much in it? Of course not, but I noticed it.
Perhaps the differences are due to something other than the chips. There are other tolerances at work and maybe even two phones with the same CPU would display different characteristics.

Look at the first screen next to the pie chart. There is the model information. It was posted above what the different model numbers are.
I'm out of my depth here, but open the app and look at the first thing you see...
I Googled what is listed as "Model" and came up with these two links:
The iPhone 6s makes use of Apple's A9 SoC. The A9 is manufactured by both Samsung and TSMC, and is assigned different chip IDs based on this. Samsung manufactures the S8000 found in the n71ap model, and TSMC manufactures the S8003 in the n71map model.
If you click through you'll see one is iP6S Samsung and the other iP6S TSMC.
For the Iphone 6S Plus, its...
Perhaps I'm wrong on this...?
Eventually, soon if not with this app, you won't have to pay or download outside of App Store to get this info.

I think you're right. Didn't see that before. I'm showing 'map' (TSMC), and that agrees with the original, unapproved app that I downloaded.
I'm running that battery test tonight. I'm very interested. TSMC here.
Another iPhone 6S+ 64GB Silver TSMC

I'm going to run one more battery test with this one.
I just downloaded it again and it does tell you, it's under "Model:" It would then show what your chip number is. So if it shows N71mAP you have the TSMC if you have the N71AP you have the Samsung chip. This is all while using the free app Lirum Device Info Lite by Rogerio Hirooka. Member asleep posted the perfect example of what you should be looking at

Thanks for posting the example! I think that should clear up any confusion.
i was complaining earlier in this thread about how my phone stuttered and hung on me (6S 128gb TSMC) a week into owning it. So 10 days from restoring from icloud, i decided to wipe and set up as a new phone. no more lag/stutter/hang-ups, smooth as butter.
I've been restoring from icloud backups for 3 years now, so I guess I was due. I used a 3rd party data loader tool to get my health data transferred over, because setting up as new doesn't bring that over with icloud...

My geekbench score is definitely lower since updating to 9.0.2 , battery slightly worse roll on 9.1
According to some of the free app postings in the thread, I have the Samsung (n66ap) chip. Not going to pay for Geekbench for benchmarks but in terms of battery life I got around 12.5h usage and around 21.5h stand-by. Screenshots are attached here for any of those who really want to see them for "proof."
Haven't had any issues with it, running so smooth compared to my old 6 Plus.

I have a 6s with the tmp chip and a 6s plus with the Samsung and there is no difference what so ever that I can see.
Okay. So.
My battery does suck.
I'll turn off some stuff and try it again tonight... But this is sort of depressing. I ran this test in airplane mode.
Was dim screen on or off during battery benchmark?

I think I could have found a flaw in Geekbench Battery benchmark... Dim screen toggle doesn't turn off screen auto brightness, so screen is brighter in bright room and darker in dark room. And it seems like it isn't possible to run test with screen off. (Which would be ideal situation) Therefore results will vary depending on room's lightning. Somebody correct me if I am wrong?
Congrats. You are not OCD and your brain doesn't suffer from placebo effect. Enjoy your iPhones
