This is really serious because not only have reports been released about this situation, but also videos that have demonstrated all of this. The difference in battery life is due to whether your new device has a Samsung chip or a TSMC chip , which has created a debate among customers about what kind of chip their devices have.

But you should know a useful fact: finding out what type of chip your device has is quite simple, and with this information you can clear up any doubts. The first thing you need to know to identify whether you have a Samsung or TSMC chip is to go to your device's App Store . Once there, download and install the Battery Memory System Status Monitor application.

It's quite simple to do, and with this information you'll be able to clear up any doubts.

After this, you must open the application and look for the option that will allow you to see the system information. When you do this, a section of devices will appear, which you must go to and look for the model you have. After doing this, you only need to find out which chip it has.

If the chip model in your new iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus is N71mAp or N66mAp , you're in luck and it's a TSMC chip. If the chip model is N71AP or N66AP, you're slightly unlucky and it's a Samsung chip.

What it really means to have one or the other is interesting, since, as already mentioned, the difference in battery performance is due to this reason. If you own a Samsung chip, you have the option to return your device if you meet the 14-day warranty period , and you should do so since these chips are the ones that really drain the device's battery quickly.

But if you're lucky enough to have a new device with a TSMC chip, your battery will last as long as promised in the official announcement , since battery life is really important to all users. Affected consumers should take action as soon as possible, as the standards offered were very clear.
