It is definitely not cheap

Australia store is only AUD 1390 (After tax rebate) for iPhone 6S Plus 128 GB, which is roughly RM 4170, provided 1AUD = RM 3

Today, I read about this Samsung VS TSMC nonsense. Apparently the TSMC chip provides a much better battery life but the source/screenshot doesn't look very convincing. I downloaded the app and found out that mine is a Samsung chip (I'd prefer TSMC if I could choose) but battery life has been great so far. Based on my normal usage pattern, I go home with my 6S+ around 60% battery left. My 6+ would end up around 30%.

YES for a phone so expensive I would want to get the TSMC chip too...

Wanted to buy but held back because of a 20% less battery life in benchmark test..
And statement by apple too..
Apple stated the TSMC leads by 3% in daily use lol. But I think they spin the results and it might be more significant than this because they wouldn't make a statement if this isn't true..

you mean this statement?
http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/8/9483183/...attery-response

don't think too much & just enjoy the phone.

Apple says 2%-3% difference only but that user says he tested and up to 2 hours difference in battery life. WTF, that's a lot I'm not sure how true it is but anyone here with a TSMC? Maybe could share some experiences?

I wasn't freak out until Apple Made a statement.
Because if Appple made a statement means there are confirmed.... That the TSMC is superior compared to the Samsung one.
Now have to play two lottery, get perfect screen and TSMC

I dont think you can compare 6+ and 6S+ as new chip are supposed to be more efficient too, and to a fact that your 6+ battery might be degraded over the time

Yes, the 6S+ battery life is superior compared to 6+ but I also remember very well that when I first started using 6+ (new unit), the battery life was really good but no match to the current 6S+. The point I'm trying to say is, my 6S+ comes with Samsung chip (a bit sad) and yet provide good battery life so not sure if TSMC chip is really so much better?

Yea i like the battery life of my 6+ and looking forward if 6S+ is much more better

but how do we identify the chip ?

coming from a 5S to 6+, it is like jumping from hell to heaven

That's quite the relief.

Just download the app/software:

I tried Lirum Device Info Lite from App Store but I guess Apple made them change the app so it no longer tells what chip your phone uses. Hence I used CPU identifier and found out that mine is a Samsung; sigh

If the TSMC can give me 1 hour extra, I'd be more than happy to change

what the heck then the GST will be around 208++

Whatever the stated price on MOS is not inclusive of GST. Its different from Apple Store where GST is already included in the selling price.

Its off no difference if you booked at 12am yesterday or this morning as there is still stock as of this morning. Rose Gold is sold out as usual but there are still abundance of other colours.

the price in apple website doesnt include gst?

Already included.

This year price very messy need more time to compare

As stated earlier. GST is included in the price you see in Apple Online Store.

What the heck is Apple thinking?
Paying 4K+ for the phone yet still has to worry of smaller battery capacity and now this tsmc more battery life shit.
Really too much trade off. Will wait for ip7. 1 year is very fast to go by especially in current economy situation.

That's why I don't really feel to upgrade
This time feature upgrade its not amazing for me
But at least 5 to 5S, the Touch ID makes me want to change
