Wow, the iP6 isn't much faster than the 5s

Your 4 is just a 3GS with a higher resolution display ... no significant performance bump!

Geekbench scores are affected by so many different things. Having backgrounded apps affects the score, temperature of the phone affects the score. If you put your phone in the freezer for an hour before running the benchmark you'd get a higher score.
Remember too that the iPhone 5S pretty quickly started to down-clock once a heavy work cycle came in.... so the benchmark scores before were almost a 'burst' but were likely unable to be sustained..
Apple are claiming (to be proven i guess) that the new 20nm process + other efficiencies are making the clock-speed more level
So yes... we have a 15-25% overall benchmark improvement but i reckon 'real world' will mean a better sustained performance with less drop-off
But also remember... every year ... 20% improvement is on the previous figure ...
So a 20% performance improvement from processor 'C' from processor 'B' is a higher gain than from processor 'A' to processor 'B' ... they're compounded each year..
We can only expect so much improvement year-on-year ... they made a big jump last year with 64-bit ... it'll be back to incremental now .... going down to 14nm maybe next year ....
I know it sucks to be us .... only having one of the most powerful (if not the most powerful) smartphones on the planet equivalent in graphics performance than a home console from not that long ago...
First world problems are so terrible.
