It looks like based on this 9 to 5 Mac article there is some pause for legitimate concern here they have a user that has ran several real world test yes one of the test only had a 1% difference but another one of the test had a much larger different basically if you do graphic intensive task on the phone you will see that difference in battery life so for example a gamer

Had a 16 gig rose gold (no idea what chip it had) and returned it for a 64 gig silver TSMC. I won across the board lol.
I got the TSMC in my 6s. I immediately told everyone in the office how much cooler I am than them.
How did I know that somehow one of the chips would be found to be ever so slightly better than the other one, and everybody would be rushing out trying to get that one.
I'm getting 10+ hours of usage and a day of standby easy with my Samsung A9 based 6S Plus. Yeah the TSMC may benchmark with higher battery scores, but they're not realistic compared to how we actually use our phones. Stop worrying about what chip you have, they're both great.
If I'm paying a premium for a device, I want the best version of the device. Would you accept paying the same amount of money for a car that got 20 MPG when you could buy the same car, from the same lot, at the same price that got 22 MPG?
Of course not. You'd demand the best product available for your money, even if you're only talking about a few MPG here and there.
I would assume they both meet Apple's stated battery life, if so it's odd that if both benchmarked the same as the Samsung no one would be complaining as it reaches the advertised stats, now the TSMC seems to benchmark better some people are acting like the Samsung is the end of the world.
of course if the TSMC does have an advantage I really hope my phone will have one so I'm not really any better, but it's not the end of the world either way.
has anyone who bought one after release got a Samsung?, everyone with new devices seems to have the TSMC
Lol people need to chill. Last week everyone was doing the same **** rushing to return their tsmc chips for Samsung ones.
there was that one guy claiming it was responsible for all the crashes, lag, freezing, rebooting and pretty much every problem everyone was experiencing.
he seems to have vanished
Hahahahahaha suckers!
I got the ultra rare Texas Instruments chip that only 0.0% of phones have.
I ran the benchmark with my screen at full brightness, the vibrator running, and my phone playing K.D. Lang's version of Hallelujah for 36 hours straight. I still have 50% battery. Suck it people!

Lol. Same **** is going on Reddit. Most people are on different iOS betas and it doesn't cross their mind that it could be software related. The software my 6s plus shipped on was horrible for my phone, but everything's solid now on 9.1 beta 4 (3 was fine too)
Also it's funny someone with the tsmc chip posted their 6s plus usage and their phone drained out at 7 hours usage (not geek bench just normal usage) which isn't the kind of battery you'd expect everyone to be circlejerking around.
Why?
If this Samsung problem is software related, the new beta 4 (with GM type build) could be a good indicator for a possible upcoming fix.
I'm getting the same battery on beta 3 and 4 (both very good) beta 1 and 2 battery wasn't very good.
I'm talking specifically about iPhone 6s and comparing the latest 9.1 beta with 9.0.2 where the battery sucks with Samsung chips
I ran the Geekbench battery test on my iPhone 6s+ 64 GB iOS 9.0.2 with Samsung chip, with cellular network and wifi on; and "dim screen" setting on, and just woke up to the following results. Go crazy with your newfound datapoint.
No, I have an iPhone 6
What I meant was that every year I tell myself every year I don't need a new phone, but always end up buying one. It has become a sick tradition.
16 hours off charger.
3 and a half hours of reading and replying to chipgate chaos.
My Samsung
Yea mine was bad on 9.02 as well.
This is from today on beta 4. Imma just go another day off charger with my inferior Samsung chip xD
