Made an appointment to return my Samsung model 128GB 6S+ Rose Gold. You guys can try to justify this however you want, but the bottom line is apple marketed me a phone that should perform as other 128GB 6S+ Rose Golds do. Mine does not. It has significantly worse battery life. If you find that acceptable for a $1000 product, I pity you.

I feel like I'm really glad I didn't exchange mine for the tiny bit of lag. It works amazing now and my scores are always pretty excellent.
 
do you have anything productive/insightful to add? i never understood these responses. seems childish.

Your phone isnt defective. But You want to swap a $800 phone only because of an Internet thread by people with crazy OCD issues. That = a lol
 
Did you guys ever determine a safe app from the App Store to determine what chip your phone has? I'm not downloading an app from some random Chinese website.

Right now the 6s spread is 70% TSMC and 30% Samsung. I have a Samsung now so if I swap it out the odds are in my favor. I just don't know if Apple would swap it for that reason until someone raises a stink about it on a large scale.
If it is within 2 weeks you don't need a reason other than you feel like you got a lemon and are either going to return it for refund or exchange it. I had a MBA once that just did;t feel right and they swapped it out for me.
 
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.

It was sarcasm. D:
 
I would like to see how reliable the TSMC vs Samsung scores/temp/power consumption data is with higher data points.

For what it's worth I have a TSMC iPhone 6s and I ran the antutu benchmark on my phone and it actually landed very close to their results. It's just one sample but what they are saying might just be true.

Welp me and my wife both ordered our exact same phones at basically the exact same time, iPhone 6s+ 64GB Space Grey ATT, and both got the same production week and facility from the serial numbers. Just checked with the Lirum Info Lite and I have the TSMC (N66mAP) and she the Samsung (N66AP).

Interesting to read that the TSMC is supposedly superior (currently hearing battery, performance, and cooling) because while my phone has been experiencing the slowdown/unresponsiveness stuff, she has had literally zero issues at all in that respect.

Now debating purchasing the Geekbench app for both our phones (hopefully only have to buy it once) and running a test to add another data set, given we have pretty much as-similar-as-you-can-get iPhones.

You would only have to buy it once if you have family sharing enabled in iCloud settings.
