Samsung or TSMC: Chip affects battery of iPhone 6s

Not every iPhone 6s equals. In some, a chip from TSMC is fitted, in other one by Samsung - and which can obviously have a significant impact on the battery.

That smartphone corporations entrust different manufacturers for the production process of chips is often common practice - the iPhone 6s is no exception. The new model generation sets the benchmark for chip production to TSMC and Samsung again. First, non-representative benchmarking results, however, show that the chip from TSMC sometimes allow a considerably longer battery life, as MacRumors reported.

So, it is checked which chip in the iPhone 6s used comes

Who wants to know which chip in its iPhone 6s the service performed, only the free app Lirum Device Info Lit must download. If the app is started, the model number appears in the lower area. If the chip is manufactured by Samsung, will appear for the iPhone 6s "N71AP" and for the iPhone 6s Plus "N66AP". With chips from TSMC called "N71MAP" (iPhone 6s) and "N66MAP" reads (iPhone 6s Plus). Although the manufacturer of the chips do not differ from the pure forth Specs, but the manufacturing process is different.

iPhone 6s Plus with TSMC chip offers better battery life, according to test
While TSMC uses the 16nm process, Samsung relies on the 14nm FinFET technology. In a 3 Geekbench test a Reddit user-Amazing came to light. So the iPhone could reach 6s Plus with TSMC chip a significantly longer battery life - about 1 hour and 45 minutes longer than the model with Samsung component. This test was run through several times, although the result is still far from being representative. Whether a connection with various problems is with the battery of the iPhone 6s, is unclear. However, those who also complained about short battery life, will perhaps find it in our battery advisor for iPhone 6s.
