Samsung Better or tsmc?

Most reviews will tell you there is negligible differences between the two.

For some people it's that big a deal - hence this thread and various other similar threads in forums all over the world, heh heh...

Will tsmc chip for Apple phone can sell used for higher price or same with Samsung chip price?currently I'm using ip6+ 16gb gold tsmc from Apple Store aus....

I really doubt so - the difference in performance is not noticeable in real life usage

How is everyone's 6s/6s+ battery life after update to 9.2.1?

Mind to share usage screen?

So far it's not different from 9.2. Am waiting for 9.3 smile.gif

How many hours of battery usage you get?

I've stopped vigorously tracking my battery usage for some time now like I did when I first got the 6S Plus. I've maxed it out to about 7-8 hours of usage with more than 40 hours of standby so it's not an issue for me. All I know now is that the phone gets me through the day without having to charge or use a powerbank, and I have more than 50% battery life when I usually plug it in to charge at night.

Also, I hardly use low power mode, so I'm sure the battery can go longer if I want it to smile.gif

iPhone 7 A10 chip to be made exclusively by TSMC, Samsung semiconductor in trouble

user posted image

With global semiconductor sales peaking in 2015 and a weak forecast for 2016, the holy grail of chip contracts in 2016 was always going to be the A10 for the iPhone 7.

Samsung was, understandably, going after it in earnest, but a new report out of South Korea claims Samsung rival TSMC has been awarded the exclusive rights to produce
the A10 for the iPhone 7, sending Samsung into a “state of emergency”.

While Samsung and TSMC have previously shared the load of chip production for the iPhone, TSMC reportedly won the exclusive contract due to its more advanced 10 nm process
compared to Samsung’s 14 nm process.

Full-scale production is scheduled to begin in June. Samsung was left reeling back in 2014 when TSMC got the exclusive rights to the A8 chip-production for the iPhone 6,
but successfully managed to split the chip supply contract with TSMC for the 6s and 6s Plus.

Losing half of the contract to TSMC is going to mean very bad things for Samsung’s System LSI division.

While this news is only being reported in South Korea today, Samsung’s semiconductor division apparently knew about the contract being awarded solely to TSMC
back in the latter half of last year and is perhaps why Samsung was forecasting a tough year ahead for semiconductor sales.

This is perhaps also why Samsung has been aggressively courting Qualcomm over the contract to produce the Snapdragon 820.

Considering the performance differences uncovered between the different iPhone 6s models last year, Apple’s choice seems a wise one for the iPhone 7.

Not only is the TSMC process more advanced, iPhone 6s models that used the TSMC A9 were found to run cooler and offer better battery savings – however marginal –
than their Samsung twins.

It may have been the first time iPhone users actually cared about the specs of the latest iPhone.

Given that Apple themselves claimed that performance difference was marginal between the two chips, I'm sure they have other reasons not to go with Samsung for the iPhone 7. This strikes me as more sensationalism rather than anything else.

iphone 6s plus 64gb with TSMC chip....

so far the battery is ok i guess... compare to my last iphone 6 plus also with TSMC chip... the battery life on the iphone 6 plus was way better than my current iphone 6s plus
*
I concur. The 6 Plus has a 2915mAH battery and one RAM less than the 2750mAH battery of the 6s Plus. Can't fathom the logic..

Anyways, fingers crossed that iOS 10 has even better optimization smile.gif
