Enjoy your 20 minutes of fame. If your sister updates to 9.1 beta 4 you will lose that 20 mins and lag behind her by 2 hours.
Got a tip for us?

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

Interestingly it's still available to download from the purchased tab, assuming you got it already, so it's not been pulled entirely. Could be the developer updating it, now it's getting all this attention?
6S+?
Seems good so far
Someone is trying to cover their tracks
6s plus, yea.
Probably pulling the free version after seeing how many people are ocd'ing over their chip brand. $$$$
Lol
I checked what I had (Samsung) and then deleted the app. Was talking to a colleague about this and when he tried to download it, we realised that it had disappeared.
Sure, but if you now go to updates in the App Store on your phone, and click in purchased at the top, you'll see it there - or at least I do. Like you I deleted it previously but have just downloaded it again now.
I tried to do that on mine, but it just went into a loop. I've just checked again and it's gone!
I wonder if this is just different handling of heat throttling? Perhaps Samsung errs more on the side of performance and lets the chip run more "full-speed" where the TSMC dials back the power. Samsung has a history of favoring performance over battery life.
This whole debate would be framed differently if the headlines were "TSMC chips not running at full power when under load!"

No evidence of that and would have been pretty futile given that the same info is confirmed available in other apps (BMSSM is the free one I've found so far, I'm sure there are others).
Clearly this model info is freely available within iOS to any apps that want to use it, which doesn't suggest Apple want to hide it.
Dear users of Lirum Device Info,
We are aware of some serious issues or our Apps with the latest iOS models (iPhone 6S and iPad Air 2). Changes on the requirements for a new update to be approved are also delaying the development process (and our team is very small).
In face of such events, in 24 hours, we will take Lirum Device Info down from the App Store - until we can release a decent update. That will take a few months however - but then we promise an entire new user interface, faster updates when a new device model is released, and a lot of new features.
Until then, the app will continue to work on models equal or prior to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Best Regards,
Rogério Hirooka

from the Facebook page of the dev, Apple didn't pull the app

when everything is right and perfect, the chip is designed by apple. when something is wrong, the same chip is manufactured by samsung.
how about if there is something wrong in the design part (architecture+software), not in the manufacturing process itself?

There is the thread with the battery life postings, guy with 9.0.2 got about 20 minutes more than me. I'm on beta.
