6s Plus 128gb Samsung chip.

Do I need to set up my phone as new? Im really disappointed...

I would. Then if you still get below average battery benches you can know and swap it for a new one.
 
If you are otherwise happy with you TSMC why not opt to get it repaired instead of replaced if the speaker bit continues? The warranty would cover it.

they never gave me repair option and told me to order replacement.
 
Hearing lots of TSMC owners complaining about freezing too. Might also be a manufacturing defect in those chips. Take it back and get the cooler Samsung chip.
What happened to this guy
He was telling people earlier in the thread to return their TSMC phone lol

Thanks! I'll get it done asap to compare for sure. The thought of downloading all of my over 150 apps is daunting though.
 
6s+ 64 TSMC. Set up as new.
Battery life felt iffy until I reset all settings on Sat night trying to fix the freezing/turning itself off business discussed here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-6s-turns-off-by-itself-confirmed.1922995/
Now it benched:

When you say you reset all settings, do you mean literally the 'Reset All Settings' option, rather than 'Erase All Content and Settings'? I'm getting about 7.30 with my 128GB TSCM 6+, so I'm thinking of doing the same to try and get up to where yours is, but I don't want to go through a full wipe.
 
It is pretty funny that now the Samsung chip is massively inferior apparently.

It just shows the people who have no idea what they are talking about..

Regardless who made the A9 processor, in the end you still have an A9 processor.. People are acting like they will get some super A9+++ processor because company "x" made it.

Unless your going to spend 100% of the battery life stressing the phones hardware out to the max 100% of the time, you "might" see a difference. Maybe. Probably not.

Both processors are still going to have the same limitations and restraints. But they will be able to let you play candy crush, group text, call your mommy, and stalk people's Facebook the same..

But of course people want to act like they will be saving the world with their smartphones and require some irrelevant statistical anomaly advantage.
 
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).

Random third party app from the internet. What could go wrong?
Are people still installing this??

Well this is just plain untrue.

If you're on an airplane and want to play a game of Fallout, one person's iPhone 6s might last 4 hours and one might last 6 hours.

Battery life is a big differentiator even between the 6S and 6S+
 
Anyone noticed this in the background? Knew I shouldn't have installed this app, going to restore my phone as new now smh....

This is why I used System Status to find out (actually got it for the other stuff, but found it out in that process anyway...it's probably the nicest device status/info program I've used). Definitely wasn't going to install unsigned programs.
 
Which app is this you are using?

Battery Doctor - I don't ever used the boost feature but did for the hell of it and noticed a Chinese app on the background. I'd suggest restoring your phone too if you installed this unsigned app.

Thanks, just installed it. Looks like the list of processes is only visible when you boost memory, as opposed to being a process list you can look at at will?

Correct, I was trying to find a way to look at all apps running in the background but this was the only way with this app.

Well, I opened it in Airplane mode, I deleted it right after. Now the Battery app does not show it in the background.

just ran this app and a couple others. didn't see that process. likely unrelated or you ran it very soon after deleting the chip identifier application.

I never installed the app and have that process. Not sure what it's from. I set up as new from the beginning.

That's the thing, I deleted the app the minute I found out which chip I had. Strange, I'm still on the process of restoring my phone so hopefully this removes it.

you are suggesting a mostly insignificant chip delta is going to give someone an almost 70% battery life increase, or are you just throwing forum hyperbole everywhere.
