In relation to the iPhone 6s, although faced with a little bump on the road, the iPhone 6s will have the A9 chip, that is rumored to have the performance to kill for, News Investors pointed out. The chipset will be faster and will be more power efficient due to its size of just 14/16nm (nanometer).

According to a tech expert, Srini Sundararajan, the A9 processor will be approximately 20 percent more powerful, 12 to 15 percent smaller in size and is 35 percent more power efficient. Aside from what will it bring on the power department, the A9 chip is also expected to boost the phone's graphics performance boost.
