AnandTechs 6s-Review
Ryan Smith und Joshua Ho feiern den A9-Prozessor („Overall, the Apple A9 SoC is the best SoC in any phone shipping today.“), bemängeln das 5W-Netzteil („the iPhone 6s Plus really does need a more powerful charger than it does now“), loben die Kamera („Looking at both video and still image performance together, the iPhone 6s Plus arguably has the best camera in an iOS or Android smartphone today.“), lassen sich vom Speicher beeindrucken („The iPhone’s storage solution here is ahead of everything else in the industry“), mögen 3D Touch („OEMs and SoC vendors often speak in platitudes about how user experience matters but 3D Touch is probably the first case where the user experience is visibly improved in a very real way.“) und amüsieren sich über kleine Details:
On a final note, now that we have die shots of both A9s from Chipworks, I must tip my hat towards Apple for releasing an accurate die shot of what we now know is the Samsung A9 in their iPhone 6s presentation. Up until now Apple has never released their own die shot of their SoCs, and in fact first-party die shots are becoming increasingly rare as a whole in the semiconductor industry. Consequently I had expected that Apple’s die shot was a fake, only to be far more impressed that it’s real.
