6s iPhone: Apple recognizes a slight difference of autonomy depending on the processor used

Given the controversy that began to take a certain magnitude in recent days, especially on social networks, Apple has finally decided to release a few US sites for information on the difference of autonomy recognized by some users of the new iPhone when 6s it is equipped with a TSMC or Samsung processor. To recap, the American manufacturer provides at two different manufacturers, Samsung and TSMC for A9 processor of the iPhone 6s. But these two processors are not quite identical: the Samsung is smaller than TSMC, against 104.5 mm² 96 mm². Specifically, the Cupertino company has recognized in particular the site TechCrunch that a small difference in performance of autonomy can be found, but that it is only between 2 to 3% depending on the embedded chip in the iPhone 6s: "The iPhone A9 processor or 6s 6s Plus is the most advanced smartphone to chip in the world. All chips that we deliver Apple enjoy the same standards in terms of outstanding performance and autonomy, regardless of the capacity of the iPhone 6s, color, or pattern, "said the firm. And it added that the tests carried out using benchmarks type tools are not reliable when used in daily life: "This is a wrong way to measure real autonomy. The data of our customers and our tests show that the battery life, even taking into account the differences in components, ranging from 2 to 3%. " Apple releases figures are rather reassuring with the information circulating on social networks. Recall that a user of the Reddit website said he was found 6s More than an iPhone equipped with a processor TSMC had a 30% higher average range to 6s More iPhone equivalent with a Samsung processor. According to him, the results arrive at 7:50 of ongoing uses for TSMC chip, against only 6:05 for the Samsung chip. "A frankly visible difference," he said. This user is not alone in complaining about it. The MacRumors site also pointed to some differences: the TSMC would be slightly more powerful processor (nothing sensitive use though) and would tend to heat less. Every iPhone model (or almost) is entitled to his problem. We remember indeed particularly the "BendGate" that hit last year the iPhone 6 Plus too easy to fold or the famous "AntennaGate" that hit the iPhone 4 and its too sensitive antennas. It remains to see if this concern will continue to grow and eventually fade. In all cases, the "ChipGate" risk of still speak of him in the coming days ...
