Is the Apple iPhone 6s Silicone case actually made of silicone or TPU?

Most phone cases call themselves "silicone" but are actually made of a completely different material, polyurethane (TPU) plastic. Is Apple's silicone case actually made of silicone? A large department store here in the UK lists the material for these Apple silicone cases as "polyurethane". Who's right?

Let's see. Apple makes the cases and says they're silicone. Some department store says they're something else. I know who I'd believe. Additionally, there would be legal implications if Apple said it was silicone but it wasn't. But, unless you're allergic to silicone, I'm not sure it matters that much. If you are, I'd avoid them.
