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

Coming from an S5 to an IP6, I can comfortably say that the S5's battery is better than the IP6. This is with Bluetooth, wifi and location services activated at all times.
Looking at it today, the IP6's battery drops about 4-5% an hour with little to no use.

That's my point, that it's not just RAM. There are other factors involved, screen resolution being one of them. Putting RAM IN something will not instantly solve problems. Like I said my G3 has 3gb of RAM, and lags more than my iphone and ipad.
That being said, the g3 is still the best phone I've owned and I'm sure the only better ones out there are the 6ses
Wow, you have a lot of Apple mobile devices
. 2 iPads, the 6+ and an iPod touch!Personally, I love my 6+. Just about getting used to the size now but it really does have great performance (I upgraded from a 5) and the battery life so far is amazing. The screen is fantastic on this thing.
"...While 6 Plus Lags in Graphics"??
IF YOU LOOK, THE 6+ OUTPERFORMS ALL NON-APPLE DEVICES!! Including those with similar or higher pixel counts. You could have put that at the top (...While 6+ outperforms competitors in Graphics. or something like that.) Ugh.

Imagine if they put 4gb of RAM IN it!
The battery life would plummet. The amount of RAM doesn't matter if you optimize the OS for it. Android needs more ram because it's basically a RAM hog like Linux is.
Hmm, those battery tests seem pretty unbelievable. The iPhone 5 battery running iOS7 is pathetically bad. I get six hours tops from a full charge (very recent new battery) when browsing using WiFi.
How about cellular 3G/4G battery life? That's the clincher for me. My partner's HTC One M8 lasts eight hours minimum and yet my i5 drains fully within three hours if web browsing using a cellular connection. These battery life ratings can be taken with a pinch of salt because NO WAY are Apple at the head of the pack when it comes to battery life.

I'm really not big on measurebating--I just want a phone that does everything I need smoothly, and feels good doing it--but I'm kind of confused here--I thought Samsung told me I was a wall-hugger, but the phone I just bought from Apple gets an hour and 15 minutes more runtime than their flagship. How does that work?
Apple doesn't need marketing...samsung takes care of that for them
It's true. I've said the same thing myself.
I'm waiting to see how the SHIELD does against an iOS8 Metalized game.
In the blink of an eye, it'll be harder to find a game that hasn't been Metalized than one that hasn't.
I expect the framerates on a Metalized game will be over 50pc faster than SHIELD.

And yet on my 4s I need to reload the web page I was reading if I reply to a text. Yes, I understand it doesn't have 1 GB of ram but that still doesn't leave a lot of overhead, which is reflected by the similar complaints I hear. Bad for battery life.
Either the iPhone needs more ram or iOS actually isn't well optimized.
You wrote Safari? My apologies. Please explain how you were unable to convince the hardware division to double the RAM, then.
Relax people, benchmarks lie.
First is is clear that with the exception of the Shield Tablet, the higher the screen resolution (mostly as you look down the list), the lower the graphics benchmark numbers will be. But benchmarks always LIE and this is not an indication of ACTUAL game performance.
There is no game running on iPhone 6, 6 Plus or any of the supposedly much "slower" competition that is eking along at 7 FPS like the benchmarks suggest. Clearly whatever they are doing is resolution dependent and causing artificial numbers.
Whether you are looking at the iPhone 6 Plus or any of the other "slower" flagships on the list, you are still going to enjoy great gaming, for what you can get anyways on a phone.

My iPhone 6 battery life resembles phonearenas chart give or take a few minutes. But during my usage I was downloading apps left and right; something youre not going to do on a daily basis. When you have 128GB to play around with you really dont care how much content you load. And I was also watching plenty of video and playing games.
5S doesn't have an NFC chip, meaning you'll be missing out on Apple Pay. But unless that matters to you, pretty much same experience.
Idk, over on /r/Android - the one place where I'd expect people to be pumping that result over this one - a lot of people were saying that they trust this result over phonearena due to the differences in the way they're run.
So far in my experience, the 6 has very good battery life.
Battery life is not one of the things that people say better specs gives. Unless youre talking about bigger batteries, which is then obvious.
This is why I was not wow'ed at the new iPhone 6, it only has slightly better battery.
Web Battery Life
iPhone 5 = 10.27
iPhone 6 = 11.46
I mean this is hardly any difference, what were they thinking? Apple just replaced my iPhone 5 battery recently so why would I upgrade just to get +1.19
It's really disappointing because if the battery had been better I would have upgraded in a heartbeat.

its actually better than a day really, been playing with this thing since Friday morning and I'm actually amazed at how great the battery is. Much longer than the 5s last me all day and well into the next and i live on my phone
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'
In either case, it's not going to matter. Developers aren't going to make any differences between the 6 and the 6+. The performance will be the same because of negligible differences in the hardware and the cost of development.
