In the absence of a serious problem with which to start a new "gate", this year we have what is known as "chip gate«. With this name a problem is known that, although it is true that it may not be a hardware failure, it is due to the fact that Apple has made a wrong decision in which users participate in a lottery in which we can acquire an iPhone 6s with A9 16nm processor manufactured by TSMC or one with a 9nm A14 processor manufactured by Samsung. The problem is that it seems that the processor manufactured by the Taiwanese company is more efficient than the processor manufactured by the Korean company, although new tests show that the difference, if it exists, is minimal.
Initial tests showed a difference of 20% in favor of the A9 manufactured by TSMC, which could translate into 2h of autonomy. 20% is an outrage that Apple soon came out to deny, ensuring that the difference is 2% or 3%. In its statement, Apple said that benchmark applications do not provide real data on the use of a device, so it should be checked in other ways.
The above results are from some tests you have carried out Ars Technica. To perform the tests, which although they say they are "controlled" I don't have them all with me either, they have used two AT&T iPhone 6s, one with the A9 processor manufactured by TSMC and the other with the A9 manufactured by Samsung, they have removed the card SIM and both had the same screen brightness.
It is said that the Geekbench 3 test is the one that does not show results that coincide with real use. The other three, as you can see in the previous image, would confirm the difference that Apple assures that there is between both devices, which is 2-3%. Be that as it may, everything seems to indicate that TSMC's processor is more efficient than Samsung's, but this is probably because Apple is limiting Samsung's processor so that there are no major differences.
Now, the fools of the "gate" have that the hell are going to invent.
This was the Gate and they have screwed up, if it is that much looking for water in the desert….
Ok, in these things like everything in life, you draw the conclusion that time will be the
judge and witness to all this nonsense. Who want to discredit Apple. I'm still waiting, after almost a year, for my iPhone 6Plus to bend. Greetings.
What I hope is that now they do not fit in iOS 9.1 the TSMC one so that they are equal, that these are capable!
Hi Carlos. In any case, what they would do is release the Samsung one a bit, which is the one that is a bit below.
A greeting.
WhatsApp has been updated and now you can respond from apple watch, the app will soon come out as happened with facebook messenger, tb is compatible with 6s and sub3d touch
I wanted to comment on something that happens to me having changed the iPhone and 1 time because I was pissed off what was happening to me and it continues to happen even though I see that Luis also happens to you. It turns out that when you have the iPhone blocked for a while or say 10 seconds or a little more when you unlock it with your fingerprint, the bar above where the time is, the battery and the operator disappear and it takes time to reappear. I thought it could be the Chip since mine is from Samsung or that my iPhone was wrong but I have seen videos out there of what happens to youtubers that do reviews so I do not know if you know why it can be or if it is a Touch ID failure because it goes very fast and in 6 when it goes slower that does not happen as I have verified in my father's. Got me.
It doesn't happen to me. The bar pops up all the time. 6s updated
It is rare that it does not happen to you when of all the videos that I have seen of reviews on YouTube and on top of Luis from this forum it also happens and that has the good chip tell us the TSMC. It is when you leave it locked and you count more than 10 seconds or so that begins to happen and it is probably because ios 9 is not optimized 100% with the 6S / 6S Plus. We will have to wait but as the update is still coming out, it goes to Apple.
