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

Sucks, better return it for TSMC iPhone. My TSMC rocks!Just got my 6S Plus, checked the chip and it a Samsung.
Outperforms both from this vid in the cpu test though. Will probably run the battery test tonight.
The restore as new placebo is greatest sugar pill in apple user history
Oh look an inferior Samsung chip, which I have no heat problems and all day battery life with heavy usage. *Must exchange*
TSMC re-confirmed. Lirum showed the same (surprise surprise)
Because Lirum, System Status, BMSSM, and many other apps now including Geekbench, are all just reading the same longstanding identifier provided by iOS itself. Why on earth the rather crappy Lirum app was singled out in the first place (and subsequently trumpeted on every blog out there) is a mystery.
The Samsung chip definitely has a performance edge, which makes me wonder whether it just needs tweaking down a notch to match the TMSC even on the unrealistic battery tests.

Probably because Lirum (lite) was/maybe is the only free app that you don't have to install a certificate for.
Nope, BMSSM was always free and always showed the same info (I had it in on my last phone but deleted it when the adverts got a bit intrusive). Lirum just seem to have got lucky.
Ah interesting.
Yeah just right person right time I suppose for getting visibility, I dunno.
I wonder if Apple is going to start banning these apps from identifying the chip. They are big believers in "specs don't matter" thats why they didn't tout the S having 2gb of RAM, in addition to just being behind the Android competition in raw numbers
This is true indeed on the 6s plus. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple makes a tweak in software to optimize battery better on Samsung chips.
I guess this means all those people who took their Samsung chip iPhones back for the TMSC chips will want to switch back again, lmao....
I just got my phone back from the shop, I had them install the other chip with a switch on it to go back and forth. Now when I read here and everyone thinks one chip is better, I flip the switch. Then tomorrow when I read here the other is better, I flip back.
Not really a performance edge. As you can see my TSMC, the difference there is meaningless. All that matters would be real world battery drain.
Yep, just wait for it...... LOL.
Technically it should be Samsung doing better with 14nm on performance and battery efficiency. Something is not right. It wouldn't surprised me if this is corrected in future iOS updates. I'm a software engineer and I'm very curious on what the problem is and the solution to this.
I've decided the most mutually beneficial solution to Apple and the consumer:
Buy 8 of the S models.
4 of the regular 6S, two 16 (for MLC) one with TSMC another with Samsung, and two 64 with two separate chips for TLC speed
same with 4 of the 6S Plus, two 16 one TSMC one samsung, two 64 separate chips as well

Look. I have a superior TSMC chip. ............. I don't care which AP I have because I have a superior chip.
