Hi,
I was looking at unboxing videos of the new iPhones on YouTube and noticed that the 64GB and 128GB iPhones booted noticeably longer than the 16GB.
To be more specific, 16GB boot time is about 22 sec, while 64GB and 128GB boot time is about 33 sec.
Maybe this has something to do with iPhones 64/128 using TLC, and 16 using MLC. I don't know if this affects only boot time or the whole experience...

So, if you have an iPhone 6/Plus 64GB/128GB on the latest iOS (currently 8.1.2) could you do a boot test and time it (from the moment you press the power butter until the slide to unlock screen), to see if Apple improved the performance...
16GB users you can post your results too.

Takes about 23 for my space grey 16 GB.

Edit: takes exactly the same amount of time for gold 16 GB. Slightly slower before because battery was low (?)

My 128GB 6+ took 39 seconds to boot up. Certainly longer than 22 seconds but I rarely turn my phone off so it doesn't really affect me in a significant way.

Mine was taking longer and longer, 128 6 plus, so I did a clean restore and then set up from backup and the boot time was much quicker. I havnt times it though.

Both my 6 and 6 Plus are 128GB. Boot times are very consistent at 32 & 34 seconds respectively.
The phones have the latest iOS I presume, but do they feel laggy or stutter for example when taking photos?

Let all try not to blame this on the NAND:rolleyes:
Could you explain more?
