How to check if your iPhone 6s Has an A9 chip from Samsung or TSMC

Why would you care? A series of videos have been making the rounds claiming that the Samsung version of the iPhone 6s processor runs hotter and has poorer battery life than the processor manufactured by TSMC.

Here’s a link to a 9to5mac post with two of these videos embedded.

As I read through the post, my reaction was, I’d like to see more scientific testing before we scream fire. Is it possible this is a problem with just one or two phones/chips? Is this issue restricted to the 6s, or does it carry over to the 6s Plus as well?

All that said, if you care to know, iDownloadBlog has a nice post that will walk you through the process so you’ll know which chip you have.
