Apparently, Apple is sourcing the A9 processor in its iPhone 6s from two different manufacturers. One is slightly faster, runs cooler & has longer battery life than the other.
World wide, chances are 60/40 in your favour.
This app will tell which chip you have:

Open the app & check the Model field. N66mAP or N71mAP is the chip you want. N66AP or N71AP is the also-ran.
