128GB model faster than 16GB

Storage Write: 64 MB/s
Storage Read: 201 MB/s

Memory Write 500 MB/s
Memory Read 831 MB/s

I have the 64 GB Gold iPhone 6.

I got this on my 128gb SG iPhone 6... The storage Write/Read seems like a quite a difference between the 64 and 128gb, same goes for the Write for Memory :S Oddly enough though I find games to take longer to load for example MHFU when moving one area to another.

Interesting. Seems that 128GB is fastest, but it also seems some phones have faster nand and RAM even after the fact

In order to verify that, you would have to set everyone's phones up the same, quit all apps, disable all wireless connectivity, restart the device, and run the benchmark app multiple times.

If we could get a dozen people for each phone configuration to do that, we might be able to get some proper results.

Good point. I just ran it under those conditions (albeit only once) and got more similar results to the guy with the iPhone 6.

Thanks for the insight. Purpose of thread was just to see if there are any significant benefits in terms of performance gains by getting a 128GB over 16GB

I was simply explaining why the 128Gb will likely be faster than the 16Gb. Other people have elaborated on what I said too. If you don't understand what's being explained to you, dismissive sarcasm is utterly redundant.
 
Does seen like 128GB has faster writes. USB and wifi are the bottleneck for actual data transfer though. And I'm not sure what else that extra speed would be useful for since Apple doesn't use the extra space for caching

So the general answer here is "yes, but no"?

The answer is "On paper yes, but in real world usage you're just not going to notice."

There isn't yet a web page or app that taxes even the slowest NAND flash on any currently-supported iPhone. the only place you might possibly see a difference is in copying over apps and music from iTunes via USB, but the difference in size between 16GB and 64GB/128GB cancels that out. 16GB users are more likely to rely on the cloud anyway.

Also, really? We're doing write speed tests on our phones now? :rolleyes:

Only if there is some sort of SSD Raid controller which is controlling individual NAND chips on 128 GB iPhone 6. But that speed increase would hardly be noticeable during normal iOS operations as iOS is more CPU and GPU heavy.

The only place faster NAND will make difference is while transferring data using iTunes. But even there the speed will be restricted to 30 Mbps due to USB 3 bottleneck.

In short, there would be no way to find out.

Let's hope that Apple finally implements USB 3 in their sync cable for next iPhones and iPads.

USB3 has a max transfer rate of 5Gbit/s. I'm assuming this is a typo.
 
Will the faster NAND speeds help when we multitask in iOS with the limited 1GB RAM? Those app and tab reloadings?
 
today's new says the 128GB version uses TLC, which is slower than other models? Is that true?

A higher storage capacity would in no way make a phone faster.

of course it is faster. more space means more physical compactness. means faster transmissions.
bigger the better for storage, irrespective of whether u need the space or not
