Mind continues to be blown...
You guys are killing me! This chipgate has blown out of proportion. Really didn't care what chip I had but just had to do it lmao.
Apparently, I have TSMC. I thought I had Samsung cause my Geekbench processor benchmarks were ridiculously sky rocketing. I guess I'm good and won't be waiting for Apple's iPhone 6S Exchange Chip Program lol.

Hey! I was enjoying the delicious irony of his post until you ruined it!
6s Plus bought couple days after launch and has the TSMC chip. I hadn't notice any battery life issues. But when I first set it up and restored from back up it was a little stuttery.
I also had it shut down one night and I had to hold the power and home button to get it to start.

Sorry to interfere with the annual march of the lemmings towards absolutely nothing.
Just discovered my AT&T 64gb Silver 6s has the dreaded Samsung chip... F*#! this I'm trading it in for an S6.
Well this is my 6s battery life today with moderate to heavy usage on a Samsung A9. This is perfectly acceptable to me considering the size of the battery. I have no heat issues and no screen defects.
By apple's logic.
Samsung's A9 cost $20
And TSMC one cost $34
The cost difference is $14
The price of iPhone is $650
So it's only 2%~3% difference, then why don't you just use TSMC chip all the way?
TSMC definitely has way more capacity to swallow it.

Don't think so...Cuz the revenue of TSMC this month is far from peak
According to the source, Samsung is the first priority chip maker for Apple, TSMC is just a back up
But Samsung doesn't have enough supply
Although TSMC has better quality, but it's 70% more expensive than Samsung one, so Apple would rather use Samsung to force TSMC lower its price. TSMC will face pressure to maximize its full usage of capacity by lowering the price of chip.
TSMC only use 2 months to finish all the A8 production booked by Apple according to my brother who works at TSMC. You don't know how efficient it is....
Asia uses other chat apps more often than Whatsapp e.g. LINE, Wechat, Kakaotalk. They're great for hitting on chicks without knowing their phone numbers.
Wechat also had voice calls and it was only until recently that Whatsapp had caught up to the competition.
It's worrying how the three most important components - display, CPU and battery - cost peanuts.
Not sweating it. My Samsung chipped 6S Plus dies fast on FB about the same as every other IPhone I've had it loaded on, going back to 5s so it's business as usual for me.
I'm just enjoying this thread. All the other moms I know are hung up on Survivor or the Kardashians or Downtown Abbey and stuff like that. I just don't like sitting down in front of tv much, so I rarely watch more than NFL football and a little bit of HGTV on tv. And so they wonder where I get my drama fix. Mwahahaha, they have no idea!
This forum around IPhone release time has the best drama! And some sitcom humor thrown in.
Great find. I already knew from Lirum but I didn't care for that app and removed it. This is a better option and spares people downloading crap they don't need just to find out one bit of info.
