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

Yea it is considering people on android central are complaining about 2 and half hours screen on time on their Galaxy s6's it's indeed that hard for me to believe.
Same problem here, I think I'm gonna exchange, even after re-calibrating the battery it does this. Never had this before on any iPhone.
Happy with my 6s Samsung batterygate here. It has just as much SOT as the 6
that's the thing, the Samsung isn't a bad chip, it meets Apples advertised specs, the TSMC chip seems to be more of a happy accident if it is better then the Samsung one.
nobody would be complaining if all phones had the Samsung in them. I haven't got my phone yet but as long as it all works I will keep it, it still meets the specs I thought I was buying when I bought it, I mean what can I do, march down to the store and demand a replacement because mine is only as good as they advertised and not better?
My 6S (TSMC) is pretty much matching my previous iPhone 6's battery life with my usage.
I would suggest you go back and read the post.
Did you even read what I said? Actually you restated my point, a smaller phone has a higher bench, it tells you nothing about real world battery life. I'm not sure how you came up with the happy part.
The ironic thing is 6s won't match any of my plus size phone in real world. Do you see my point now?
Coming from the 5c, I couldn't be happier. I just Google average SOT for 6 and my 6s certainly is sometimes less or more depending on what I do. It's still way better than the 5c and a lot of QHD screen android phones.
Also, regarding those battery life benches, how does someone know if the bench is actually pushing both chips to max. In android, it's very easy to show it by enabling developer mode while you need to jailbreak iOS to get the CPU activity on the screen.

I agree. My wife's 5s was draining the battery. Restored from back up and the issue was still present. Set up as new and gone.
My tsmc 6S+ had severe battery drain and crashes after setting it up from the 6+ back up.
Restored using the same back up and the drain continued.
Set the phone up as new and the issues were gone along with the crashes.
If setting up as new is a sugar pill, that's some damn fine sugar
I always start new and manually sync everything to make sure I'm close to replicating the performance and experience as Apple intended.
Lol, you still don't get it... your "Real world" usage may be surfing, face booking, instagraming but many people often do spend 4-8 straight hours (on a plane, bus or train) playing games, recording 4K video etc... and that DOES represent the Geekbench 30% SoC load usage (if not more so).
Had 4 samsung this afternoon. some with good display. I can't even switch to 6plus for same reasons and some baklight issue.
This year iphone drama ended in refund. Now to time to look somewhere else.

I actually got a perfect 6s + on first try... no screen issues or any other issues.
I have the samdung chip. My battery life blows but that could be the Facebook app. I noticed even with background refresh off it still pulls a lot of juice, I've uninstalled it to see if it helps.
Also I could just be used to the battery life of a plus and maybe that's why it seems awful. Hard telling.

I was speaking from my experience that the benchmark results may not reflect real world battery life. Of course there are power users, the longer you run heavy-duty tasks the more important SoC power consumption is but how much does it weigh in real world battery life? It really depends on how you use it and a whole bunch of other factors. That's the whole point I was trying to make.
My iPhone 6s Plus 128 GB has the TSMC chip, but I'm not overly impressed with the battery life. That problably has more to do with the poor cell signal at my work place, since at home battery life is stellar.
I am having my phone swapped to try and resolve and annoying issue I've had with it where around every 6 to 48 hours Bluetooth and 2.4 Ghz Wifi stop working on the phone until I toggle Bluetooth off and on. Since I've set the phone up as new and haven't seen any reports of other people having this problem online, I'm hoping it's a hardware issue. I'm also really hoping that the new phone I get also has the TSMC chip. It would be a real kick to the gut if not only doesn't the swap fix the problem, but I get a Samsung chip as well since I do a lot of gaming on the phone.

Good luck. Ive seen people with the T chip have to swap their phones out for other reasons. Those that have the T chip better pray nothing happens to their phone in the next year where it may need to be replaced or they will loose their macrumors bragging rights. Im pretty sure it will be proven they are the same in real world use so I wouldn't worry if you do get a S chip.
