iOS 7 much smoother on iPhone 5S due to 64 bit processing

[TommyA6]

it beats all the competition there with 2013 hardware? really? wow😱

That's what I said 🙂 . I own it too, and judging by some YouTube reviews of the 5 running iOS 7 beta it appears it is faster on 7 (beta) than on 6.
For ex. Sun spider scores are better, and web pages load faster. (And it beats all the competition there with 2013 hardware 🙂 And it beats all the Android competition that use quad, octa or whatever core processors).

Wow indeed🙂

what happens when the A7 comes out, are you going to make a new account called TommyA7?

Be real. Newer androids smack iPhone 5's butt from left to right and left again.

How so? Serious question. I don't keep up with all these benchmarks, but the last I remember, the iPhone 4 and 4S used to hold their own in, say, javascript benchmarks and such.

Here's the recent benchmarks from Anandtech: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7107/...s-4-google-play-edition-review-nearly-nexus/5

iPhone 5 is holding on but it is behind the recent Android devices, which is expected as we're talking about a device that's been on the market since Sept '12. However, it is certainly not being smacked around left and right for sure.

Be real. Newer androids lag from left to right and left again.

(Just a small correction.)

And regarding my account; I'm not a troll like somebody 🙂 , so when the A7 soc is announced I'll proudly keep my old, slow name 🙂

what an assholic news if you ask me, it's the first ever big software update that the iPhone 5 will get and we're basically being told it will not run stellar.

When I upgraded my 4S to iOS 6 it ran flawlessly.

It' not assholic news. In fact it's not news at all. It's just a rumor someone spread, nothing more. iPhone 5 will run ios7 perfectly fine. Just ask people who run iOS 7 beta on their 5. It runs great (with maybe some minor hiccups, which is expected for BETA software)

I have it installed and while it is in fact stable. framedrops with the animations aren't looking very promising.

It's a BETA. If by the time GM ships it still shows noticeable frame drops, (then) complain. I highly doubt it happens though. 🙂

haha touche!

64bit has absolutely nothing to do with the gpu processing uses to render the animations and scrolling. It also doesn't magically make things faster.

Those browser benchmarks don't add up. My nexus 7 2013 with a slower clocked sd600 does much better than that. It sounds like they were using an ancient version of chrome. Also things like exynos 5250 dual core in the easily do 500-600ms sunspider scores but anandtech always lists it at like 1100-1300. I also have never seen another website post such inflated battery life times for the iphone 5. No one is realistically getting 8 hours of lte browsing time on it.

Heres what people are actually posting from the galaxy s4 for example.

it means that the a7 chip would be even better, aw great! the 5S is definitely my next phone.😀

Anandtech was testing with sunspider 1.0. Your screenshot clearly says 0.9.1

When they ran the nexus 10 benchmark it was 0.9.1.

Nice! I can totally understand people who are choosing to stick with their 5s but I've had my iPhone 4 for the past two years and it's feeling so old now. That's why I'll be first in line for a 5S. I'll probably go for the 6 as well when that comes out because it'd be another big upgrade.

This. I'll be selling the 5S (hopefully 128Gb) and a 32gig iphone 4 to help fund a 6. time will tell if I need those 128 gigs (if apple even release such a thing)
