對於有品牌情意結的人來講,喜歡Apple的話相信都對Samsung沒有什麼好感。但只可惜世事總是捉弄人的,因為就算你買的是iPhone,其內裡最重要的處理器組件還是有部份是出自 Samsung 的代工生產出來。今年iPhone 6s上的A9處理器由於分別採用了來自TSMC及Samsung的兩個版本,導致效率不一,甚至是有測試說Samsung版會少掉兩小時電力。對於這個「晶片門」事件,Apple 終作出了回應。
Apple 向 TechCrunch 的查詢時作出了正面的回應,指出iPhone 6s 及 6s Plus 上採用由Apple自行設計的A9處理器擁有世界最頂尖的技術,每片晶片都達到了Apple最高的要求,以帶來最強的處理效能。

回應同時還指出,現時坊間針對TSMC及Samsung兩間代工廠所生產的A9處理器的測試並非接近實現世界所使用的習慣,因為Apple已經透過大量真實的用戶使用數據作出分析,兩款處理器對於電池用量的差別只在2-3%,並沒有坊間測試中所說的接近兩小時那麼誇張。
回應原文如下:
With the Apple-designed A9 chip in your iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, you are getting the most advanced smartphone chip in the world. Every chip we ship meets Apple’s highest standards for providing incredible performance and deliver great battery life, regardless of iPhone 6s capacity, color, or model.
Certain manufactured lab tests which run the processors with a continuous heavy workload until the battery depletes are not representative of real-world usage, since they spend an unrealistic amount of time at the highest CPU performance state. It’s a misleading way to measure real-world battery life. Our testing and customer data show the actual battery life of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, even taking into account variable component differences, vary within just 2-3% of each other.
