how fast does your device boot up? i just compared the boot times for my 4th gen touch, my iPhone 3GS, and my girlfriends iPhone 4S I was actually surprised.

iPod touch: 33.1 seconds

iPhone 3GS: 47.6 seconds

iPhone 4S: 37.5 seconds

i was shocked my ipod beat her iphone. just for fun, i did my little 3rd gen nano, and that booted in 16.9 seconds 🙂
 
I just sold my 4th gen touch, but on iOS 4.2 it was actually pretty fast! Right at 30 seconds on the dot when I timed it once. iOS 6 is a different story, probably more like a minute and a half. Lol.

My new classic isn't bad, but my 2G nano was super fast. Not much to load back then 😎

I've seen CF card modded iPod's that were insanely fast too. Like 10 second range boot times.

Is that different OSes? I guess the former two don't run iOS 7, so all bets are off for boot times.

When I was originally thinking it through assuming they all ran the same OS, I was thinking maybe having the extra modem on board adds to boot time. I'd guess that might explain the difference between the older iPhone and older iPod running equivalent CPU/RAM/GPU.
 
yea, they are.

:apple: iPod iOS 6.1.6

:apple: iPhone 3GS iOS 6.1.3 (jailbroke, cant update without iTunes

:apple: iPhone 4S iOS 7.1.1

plus my 3GS is jailbroken
 
My iPhone 4S 7.0.4 boots in 1 minute and 11 seconds..
But it's jailbroken, has lots of tweaks and bootlogo and stuff.
