I think this is the first iPhone since the 4 that didn't blow the competition away at benchmarks.

Probably because things can't get much quicker. Think about it..I have iphone 5..thing is fast as heck..my wife has 5s..according to benchmarks it's quicker, but I can't tell the difference.

How much quicker can these phones realistically get? I mean where the user would actually feel it..not these benchmarks, etc
 
One thing to keep in mind is that since the 6+ is bigger with more room for heat the cpu will stay clocked at its highest speed more often then the regular iphone 6.

Its the same reason why the air is a tad faster then the 5S.
 
I agree ... I won't trust any Geekbench results until we see multiple benchmarks with consistent results.

Aye - Wait until PrimateLabs posts some "official" results on the iOS page. I looked and there's nothing there yet for the 6 or 6+.

Android page for comparison:

If the 6/6+ end up around 2900 multicore, they would yet again be the fastest smartphones out there. (until, I'm sure the Note 4 which I believe I've seen some articles talk about scores near 3100?)
 
There's nothing bogus. They're the same chip at the same clock. Need more proof? Scroll down to specs and the benchmarks. http://www.cnet.com/products/apple-iphone-6/

Benchmarks should always be averaged, individual tests will produce some variance.

What's bogus is the titling of one as iPhone 6 and the other as iPhone 6 Plus. The 1.39 ghz clock speed has been confirmed as the iPhone 6 Plus clock speed.
 
I definitely trust MacWorld's benchmarks over a couple links from who knows where.

Seems like the 6 Plus will have a slightly higher clock speed. Will it result in real world differences? Doubt it.

Macworld also claimed the iPhone 6+ had 2GB of ram. Don't have too much faith in them.

I had said multiple times before, them and GSMArena were guessing. Here, they have the phones in hand and are able to run benchmarks themselves. Different scenario.

how in the hell do you guess on actual geekbench benchmarks. what you've said makes absolutely no sense.
 
Can't wait for Anandtech to put this contrived debate to bed. They're the same, folks.

Read and understand context. The person was talking about MacWorld saying the iPhone 6 Plus had 2GB RAM. I was saying that when they said that, they were guessing because they did not have phones in their hands. Thus how would they know? They wouldn't. They were guessing.

Back on the topic of Geekbench results. Now they actually have phones in hand. They can test them, put them throw benchmarks themselves. They did exactly that. And their benchmarks are the opposite of what the original poster is saying with the 6 Plus having a lower max clock speed.

Please read and understand context.
 
Clock speeds vary given the thermal situation and the processing load. It's a common way to save power. So don't think that the listed processor frequencies are fixed. The will vary from run to run.

I don't think anyone thinks those clock speeds are fixed. The debate is what is the max clock speed each phone is able to reach.
