How do you know and why does the Samsung get an "oh well?"

There's an app to check. The Samsung chips are shown to be overheating more and not running as well as the TSMC variant.

Lol at the Samsung deathstyle
Remember before we got our iPhone's we had Jaxapollo creating that divide between us? 6S or 6S Plus?
Now we are being divided again, Samsung vs TMSC
There really isn't anything we can do about it and it's just us as hardcore enthusiasts that care. Enjoy your iPhone's guys.

People just assumed that having the smaller processor was better but Samsung gonna Samsung and with actual testing behind it it looks like TMSC is the better chipset.
My phone does run warm and battery life isn't great. If it doesn't settle I'll be returning it.
TSMC calculates faster than satellites confirmed.

I doubt the test will just magically change next week. You can perform the tests yourself and compete the results.
I think Apple was in a hard place where they either had to delay the iPhone or set up a second source of supply for the chip. It is unreasonable to expect two chips made at different companies to perform exactly the same.
I got the Samsung chip. 6S regular. Everything is fine. I consider myself quite a heavy user. Last 24 hours: 15 hours standby and 6 hours usage. I'm paired to an Apple Watch 24 hours a day too. No heat issues either.
It's no big deal.
6S 64gb with Samsung here. Phone hasn't heated up yet nor is my battery life utterly bad. But kinda now that I have read the reports of the Samsung vs the other soc, I feel that I should trade in or something lol. Heard the odds of getting the Samsung were 1/4 and somehow I got one

I've seen a number of people report this on the +. I've had it happen a couple times too. I'll randomly have it jump all over in GoogleMaps or Uber...super frustrating.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
My model is N66mAP, what the heck is that ?
TSMC, welcome to the club.
for those worried about getting (or already have) the Samsung chip...
I have it and have no issues. I brag about my battery to my GF everyday (she has a 5 that dies almost every day). has lasted 3+ days a couple times with minor (not a ton, but not just sitting in airplane mode...texting, safari, taking/sending pics, reading emails). Not great that it is looking more and more like its not as good as the other, but its not the end of the world (yet). Plus most of us are on iphone forever probably, and will get a 7 in 11 months anyways, so chip/battery/phone shouldn't degrade much at all.

Wow I'm an idiot. I was being so cheap when pre ordering that I got a 16gb Gold 6s+ for 750 instead of the 64gb 6s+ for 850. Huge mistake I don't even download music to my phone because I stream via Spotify and I only have 8 apps installed and I'm down to 5.1gb. I would send it back to Apple in exchange for a 6s+ 64gb, but they all have wait times of 2-3 weeks. And you have 14-days to return it or exchange it, but we're already on day 10 tomorrow. I know people in this thread were warning others of buying a 16gb, but I was being such a cheap idiot. Oh well this is going to have to suffice me for a year, until the iPhone 7+ comes out.
Nope.
That's messed up. Stores over here won't let me return the phone without a valid reason. I don't think they would consider that.

Dude its really not that big of a deal.

It's the same exact phone. The Chip Wars are for shits and giggles.
So I noticed half my apps didn't transfer over with a full backup from iTunes. I'm trying to manually install them from iTunes and they just sit there. I can download them from the App Store and no important data was lost so it's no big deal just a minor annoyance. Didn't happen with my last two phones, I wonder why it's happening now.
Nothing worth losing sleep over...
...is what I tell myself about my Samsung-equipped 6s
Well, when there's a clear difference in stuff like battery life - if the 20% claims are true -, it is a pretty big deal. I wouldn't be glad paying so much of my hard earned cash for a phone knowing that other people are paying the same and getting a superior version of it.
Has anyone used those magnet mounts for their car? They have them on amazon and the spigen case actually has a little spot for the magnet part. I guess it just seems weird having a magnet close to the phone.

How do I change the camera or video resolution?
Like how do I change Video from 4K to 1080p 60fps.

Not a big deal. I'm sure in a month there will surface info of samsung chips being slightly better in other ways.
ps..I've been thinking of returning 64 for a 128GB but since I've got a TSMC it will force me to not spend the extra money.

Just got my 6s! It seems gigantic compared to my 4s. Pretty sweet so far. Best ad blocker is purify, right?

What's the best setting for recording videos, 4K 30fps or 1080p 60fps?
What's the best setting for Slowmo videos? 1080p 120fps or 720p 240fps?

So Hey Siri works with headphones in, but not when's it in your pocket. That kind of defeats the point...
Those are two preference related options. Do you want higher picture quality or higher framerate? That's a question only you can answer.
