Apple dismisses iPhone 6S battery concerns

The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus feature Apple's new A9 processor, but it's being sourced from two companies: TSMC and Samsung. Some users were naturally curious if there would be a difference in battery life between the two.

Reddit user raydizzle posted that they have two iPhone 6S Plus handsets, one with a TSMC chip and the other with a Samsung chip. They performed a GeekBench battery test for both and found that the TSMC chip lasted eight hours, two hours more than the Samsung chip.

Apple has dismissed these concerns however. In a statement released via Ars Technica, Apple said that the battery life performance between the two chip types in "real-world usage" doesn't vary all that much.
