Benchmarks: iOS 6 vs iOS 7

Not bad from a beta6
Still waiting for iTunes 11.1 to arrive on windows

Well obviously this isnt true, the GM on my iPhone 5 is showing the transitions to be a little slow!!

Well on my iPhone 5 everything is MUCH faster than beta6, all you guys are running a benchmark that hasn't been updated for 7 yet try that SunSpider Benchmark it give higher values than iOS6 does

Im not running a benchmark. Im going by the basis that when I open up apps and close them it is NOT as fast as iOS 6! How do I know this? Well just recently I went back to 6.1.4 before I went to GM (clean install) and I definitely notice a difference!!!!! As for iOS 7 beta 6, I dont notice that big of a change in transitions!

Geekbench 3.0.2 gives a higher score with iOS 7GM than on iOS 6.1.4

Is the OS stable, and does it meet the needs of the consumer? To me, that is the bottom line not geek benchmark scores, which in and of themselves mean nothing.

What is odd, is seeing so many people state they can't stand this, that, or the other about iOS 7, but they keep using it. I think a lot of people here like to complain just because they can.

Did you DFU restore ? I can defiantly see an improvement on iPhone 5

Yah I did actually and it's a little faster now. I think mainly its the allusion of the new animation that makes it look slower.

As you can see, extremely disappointing.

Restore device as new and run it again, it will return with higher results than on iOS 6.x

Getting good results here after a DFU update, restore to b6 backup, then Reset All Settings.

Synthetic benchmarks are not on any way indicative of subjective perception of OS performance. At all. You can have high CPU performance and still have a sluggish OS with slowly starting and closing apps. There's much more to performance than just CPU speed - NAND and RAM speeds, GPU power, resolution, bus bandwidth, all the stuff the OS is doing in the background...
