What can i do if my iPhone 6s has the N71AP chip and not the N71mAP?
iPhone 6s gets extremely hot with poor battery performance, any type of advice would be appreciated.
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.0.1
We need a statement from apple because what I paid for is a device/ CPU that performs with the same performance/ battery time as "equal" advertised devices.
Why is the 14nm CPU (Samsung) slower than the 16nm CPU (TSMC)?
Why does the Samsung CPU has a lower battery time than the TSMC CPU?
Will software updates eliminate the bad configuration of the Samsung CPU?
Continuity, we need continuity.

Again, this is not a conspiracy. Battery life can always be helped with ios patches. But the overheating many users have been experiencing is the concerning aspect, and it just so happens that the samsung chips are the ones that is causing this overheating on multiple divices. People with TSMC chips are not experiencing overheating issues with the iPhone 6s or 6s Plus.
And no one here can do anything about it. If you believe you have a hardware issue, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or arrange to have the phone sent in for servicing or return it, just as you would with any hardware problem.
Don't
Here is my experience on the 6s Plus 128GB:
1. I pre-ordered my phone on Sept 12 expecting to get it Sept 25, it was a week late but no big deal.
2. The phone did not work out of the box. Took to apple they arranged for a replacement to be shipped to store.
3. Now this. Of course I have the Samsung processor with the lower batter life.
I am done. I am returning the iPhone today for a refund.
They said i didn't have any merit to my claim to have a hardware issue. They said its because of a case, when I don't use a case for any of my phones. I guess i need to wait until more people start to complain about the samsung chip.
While you are waiting for people to complain, read the article below.
There is nothing deceptive. None of you have seen any problems - you're simply parroting what you read elsewhere. Regardless, Apple has responded and, there's nothing more to say. Hire a battery of lawyers, and file your lawsuits...
I verified that my new iPhone 6s has the TSMC chip and I'm completely satisfied 😁
That helps...
I'm sure you can find a few hundred who will complain about anything in a few hundred million.
Why not?
Good. One less person in the line.

Not too sure how this is a conspiracy theory lad, it is common knowledge that both 14nm and 16nm chips are being used in the devices. What I want to know is why two different sizes are being used, and what does that mean for me.
Leave your opinions to yourself if you are not going to answer properly 🙂
Manufacturers use multiple part suppliers, nothing new, no conspiracy there.
When you bought a car did you enquire who made the parts, and if there are any alternative part suppliers?

What's a proper answer to you? One that answers the question or one that answers it the way you want?
The real answer is that Apple's specs for the chip likely did not specify a fab technology, just that the chip perform as specified, and Samsung and TSMC decided to approach the issue in different ways.
Another question is though some tests have found a difference in battery life, if the Samsung still meets Apple's published specs, it matters not if the TSMC exceeds them or not.
