Does your iPhone 6s have a TSMC or Samsung A9 chip? – it makes a difference

In a teardown of the new iPhone 6s, Chipworks found that Apple is sourcing its new A9 processors from both Samsung and TSMC. Why should you care? – well, depending on which processor your phone has, there will be a difference in battery life.

Youtuber Austin Evans decided to put this to the test by using the Geekbech app in order to do a battery test. Check out the video he did placing the two chips head to head.
