Can I do anything about the Chip that I got(Samsung or TSMC) if I do not feel satisfied?

So recently I bought an iPhone 6S+. A little bit after that I found out about shipmate and I was kind of surprised because it was to me like 'luck' whether you get the better iPhone or not. I realised I got the 'less good' Samsung chip(N66AP) instead of the TSMC chip(N66mAP). I was just wondering what I could do about this

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.0.2

This explanation reminds me on Apple's response to the iPhone 5 battery and power button issue few years ago. Apple first denied there was any issue on them. But we can see the result - battery and power replacement programs. People who do not "feel" good about getting the product do have the right to return the product within certain period of time, I am interested to know if people really care about this chipset issue or not.

I know it doesn't affect it that much but I'm extremely bothered by this I don't know why. I would just feel more comfortable with the TSMC chip and I don't see why apple cannot help me out with this issue.

I'd feel a whole lot more comfortable if Donald Trump weren't running for president. No one seems inclined to help me on that.

The Donald is fully qualified to help those who don't want him as President 😉

That is what I keep hoping! 😉

Another suggestion to Apple : provide chipset lookup for iPhone 6s/6s+ by serial number so that customers do not have to actually open the package to find out what chipset the phone has. This way people who care about the chipset can decide to take it or not.


There’s nothing for people to care about. Apple would be foolish to allow device selection based on what brand of chip is used.

Can I do anything about the Chip that I got(Samsung or TSMC) if I do not feel satisfied?
