hey guys this is Austin reports have
come out that some versions of the
iPhone 6s have up to 20% less battery
life but is there actually any
difference it all comes down to the
chips inside unlike previous iPhones the
6s can have two different processors
chip works took a closer look and found
something interesting there physically
different sizes if you open up an iPhone
6s you would find one of two chips one
built by samsung the measures end at
ninety six millimeters squared and
another built by GSM see that comes in
at one hundred and four point five
millimeters squared the difference comes
because they're built on two different
processes the Samsung is 40 nanometers
where the tsmc chip is 60 nanometers all
this nerd talk aside what this means is
that not all iPhone successes are
created equal to find out which phone
you have go to the App Store and
download the Lyra info app it's free and
is usually used for monitoring but what
we want to find out is the model number
the iPhone 6s with a samsung a nine is n
seven one ap where the TSMC version is n
7 one ma P the same holds true for the
iPhone 6s plus the Samsung model number
is n 6 6 ap and tsmc is n 6 6 M ap
supposedly the tsmc model is the better
version but I want to put that to the
test to find out I took a pair of
identical iPhone successes one with the
Samsung processor and one with the tsmc
chip I calibrated both screens to 200
nits of brightness and ran the Geekbench
3 battery test until each phone hit 50%
battery the results were really
surprising this TSMC phone lasted a full
50 minutes longer than the Samsung model
resulting in nearly 1.5 times difference
in battery life this was also noticeable
in the temperatures of the phones the
TSMC iPhone runs significantly cooler
than the Samsung phone under load
since Geekbench is the absolute worst
case of how battery holds up under
intense load next I ran a much lighter
video test I loaded the same hour-long
YouTube video with both phones connected
to the same Wi-Fi network and here there
was a much smaller difference with the
samsung phone using 15% battery compared
to 14 percent with the TSMC model the
end result is very interesting for
normal use there's a fairly minor
difference but the TSMC iphone can give
you significantly better battery life
for heavy use there's really no way of
telling which phone you're going to get
before buying the lehre map is great but
it only tells you after you've bought
the phone my friend Jon from TLD also
tested to see the difference in
real-world battery life and performance
which you
should definitely go check out so what
do you guys think about chip gate a big
deal or no problem at all
