Report: iPhone 6S battery life isn't significantly affected by SoC source
by from Techreport on (#R05M)
Much hullabaloo has been made of late over Apple's dual-sourced A9 SoCs. Some enterprising YouTubers fueled a panic when they demonstrated considerable differences in battery life between Samsung- and TSMC-powered iPhone 6S handsets under certain conditions. Consumer Reports has gone in-depth to put those findings to the test, and the company found that there isn't any reason to worry over which foundry's A9 is in your shiny new iPhone.
To measure the phones' battery life, Consumer Reports carried out two different tests on two iPhones: one with a TSMC A9, the other with a Samsung chip. One test simulated web browsing on Wi-Fi. Each phone was set ...
