From wikipedia, and a few related searches, it seems that accelerometer after iPhone6/plus are made on die instead of a separate sensor.

I am also curious on what is the current G-force detection versus 3GS and 4s(search an O'REILLY post on iPhone accelerometer):"Both of these accelerometers can operate in two modes, allowing the chip to measure either ±2g and ±8g. In both modes the chip can sample at either 100 Mhz or 400 Mhz. Apple operates the accelerometer in the ±2g mode (presumably at 100 Mhz) with a nominal resolution of 0.018g. In the ±8g mode the resolution would be four times coarser, and the presumption must be that Apple decided better resolution would be more useful than a wider range."
Maybe you know something about it?
