iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Top Most Benchmarks and Battery Tests, While 6 Plus Lags in Graphics

magbarn said:
Once again folks, these benchmarks wouldn't care if you had 1 gb or 20gb of ram. On a desktop/laptop computer, 3dmark doesn't care if you have 2gb or 20gb of ram so why would it make a difference on a iPhone?

That's the point...stuffing RAM in it isn't going to solve any problems without software optimization.

My ipad air reloads tabs like crazy, that device could probably benefit from RAM (but again, not just stuffing RAM IN it).

My g3 has 3gb of RAM, and it lags more than my wife's 5s. That device needs some better optimization.

Point is, RAM RAM RAM is not going to solve anything.

No, it's exactly what they do on the MacBook Retina.

Not exactly. On the MacBooks it's optional depending on the scaling you choose. I believe the default setting is "best for retina" at exactly 2x, and doesn't require an extra downscaling operation.

the iPhone 5 scored higher than the iPhone 5S in the battery test?

call me surprised, my iPhone 5 battery sucks and i am on the 2nd replacement device

iPhone 5 is now over 2 years old. Are you sure your battery hasn't just gotten worse over time or you bought an iPhone 5 that was sitting on the shelf too long?

When Apple win benchmarks it's all about the technical horsepower. When they lose, it's 'the technology is still developing' or we designed it like that. :rolleyes:

Remember these cliches - no one wants a 7 inch tablet.... no one wants a large phone ....

That's what so annoying about Apple fanatics. When they win in a few benchmarks the name calling comes in thick and fast, and they get defensive when you point out how other platforms have had that technology for years or state that Apple are no longer innovating, they're following. You could almost say it's childish behaviour... almost.

What are you talking about nobody lost here those test results are way off#
 
Not too shabby. I hope the Plus' worse graphics performance doesn't have anything to do with the cases ig iOS stuttering, however. Hopefully it will be sorted out in a software update soon.

We never said no one wants a 7 inch tablet or a phablet. We just said no one smart wants these devices. Big difference.
 
Wow...

a 1.4Ghz Dual core processor with 1GB of RAM beats a 2.5Ghz Quad core processor with 2-3GB of RAM...

Google needs to rethink Android running everything in VM... Yay for open but boo for an OS that puts a damper on high spec'd hardware.
 
So which is BS

This says the battery life is great. Doing a Google search this morning to see what the reviews were, i found nothing even remotely like this article claims. I'm an Apple fan.......and this is an Apple fan site. So while I'd like to believe this article, there's a ton of seemingly non-partisan reviews that say totally different.

My iPhone 5 sucks major for battery life. No tweak of preferences or apps settings changes that. Even a total reset and basic minimal apps make the battery last barely 5 hours with nearly no usage And yet, the gurus say it's not a serial number that has a battery recall and is operating correctly.

My fan attitude is fading.......

Benchmarks matter to no one except forum geeks. So when Apple wins benchmark tests it's ammunition to shut up Android users. I've never seen an Apple user fire the first shot at any Android user over specs so it's purely defensive. When they lose it's the way Apple wanted it for user experience.

i bought it two months after release and had to get it replaced due to its standby button not working so its technically less than 12 months old. battery stats says health is 90% after 512 cycles. still have to charge it twice a day, granted i use it a lot but still

That drop off on the 6+ Graphics doesn't fill me with confidence. That was the one I ordered (I cancelled it today for a completely different reason to this graphics thing).

The reason for the benchmark score being lower is because it's the onscreen score, not the offscreen one that really matters when you're comparing different size devices.

What I'm pointing out here is that the onscreen score is calculated when rendering to the screen's native resolution. With a smaller device you generally also have a lower resolution screen and with a bigger device you also have a bigger resolution screen.

Just to demonstrate the point:
iPhone 5S: 1136 x 640 - 727.040 pixels
iPhone 6: 1334 x 750 - 1.000.500 pixels - 38% more
iPhone 6+: 1920x1080 - 2.073.6000 pixels - 185% more

Good point. Here's what people don't get about lithium ions. They're not like your typical Duracell. Lithium Ions are rechargeable and can recharge countless times. The cost, however, is they have a defined battery lifetime. So you can turn your iPhone on once, then let it sit for two and a half years, and its battery may still be shot.

It's an onscreen benchmark which reflects the resolution with relation to its capacity. What's really interesting is the offscreen benchmark where they are all truly tested. As you can see, the 6 and the 6+ are pretty much identical.

That's fine and dandy, but do we play our games on or off-screen? :)

Off-screen is getting hp dynoed off the crankshaft, on-screen is when the 'rubber meets the road'

Can any 6 plus owners comments to on battery life. Can you get at least a full day usage on single charge. For reference I'm one of the few users who has to charge his 5s at least once during the day
Thank you guys #
Click to expand...

I am getting right around 2 days with typical usage. I was getting almost a full day awake at 7am and throwing on the charger by 10pm with the same usage.
 
I love that browsing battery life test has accuracy out to 4 decimal places.
That means the results are accurate out to less than one tenth of a second.
They should have written it like this:
The iPhone battery life
was: 11 hours 26 minutes 48.12 seconds

not: 11 hours 26 minutes 48.11 seconds

not: 11 hours 26 minutes 48.13 seconds

That's accuracy! Or maybe poor skills in reporting meaningful data.

Accurate to the nearest minute, perhaps meaningful
Accurate to the nearest second, dubious
Accurate to the nearest hundredth of second
on a test that is over 40,000 seconds long, I don't think so.

but 11.4667 hours just oozes with scientific credibility, don't you agree.

For my uses this is untrue. My 5s lasted longer than my 5... so I find this odd... though mine is real word usage vs a controlled web browsing test.

You must have missed the part where I said stuffing ram is pointless without optimization? That means yes you need a balance...

I gave two examples, you wanna go back and read?
