Hey guys,

It seems that Apple worked on Safari's performances in iOS 6. Running a Sunspider JavaScript benchmark on my iPhone 4S in iOS 5.1.1 was giving me 22XXms and now it's around 18XXms. Kinda cool. I haven't tried my New iPad yet but results should be better too.

I just wanted to share this with you guys.
 
This is just a Minor update, but the loading bar is much smoother if u look at it. I like it🙂)
 
On iPhone 4, Browsermark has improved from the iOS 5 51,xxx to 60,xxx on iOS6: about 18%.

Sunspider has improved from 35xx on iOS 5 to 29xx on iOS 6. Also about 20%.

Not bad for a two year old phone! 😀
 
iPhone 4S results:
Browsermark iOS 5: 88xxx
Browsermark iOS 6: 107xxx

Sunspider iOS 5: 22xx
Sunspider iOS 6: 17xx

Again right under 20% improvement.
 
To compare to Android the HTC One S sunspider clocks in at 1900 on the dual core 1.5ghz Krait using Chrome. According to anandtech the international quad core Tegra One X gets about 1750, the AT&T One X gives 1600 and the international quad core Exynos Galaxy S3(the one the US isn't getting) gets about 1450.

All in all, very impressive turnout from Apple from an OS upgrade.
