Depends on the video
just seen a YouTube video where the Note 10 plus had more refreshes than the iPhone.
Different videos you will get different results

This is why you should always wait for the marketing hype to die down. There should be a noticeable speed difference on every comparison out there and yes the 4 GB of RAM is a huge part of the story. Oh yea extra RAM would have cut in to their profits.
3 letters for you - RAM
Apple did not add any extra RAM over last year. Why not? You already know the answer. You’ve been played.

It depends on how the test was ran. If you just open an app but don't use it, the note will sometimes close it like it was never opened. If you actually use the app, it stays open.
His Mario game reloaded because he never went into the game. In other speed test videos, it doesn't reload because those test actually started the game.
Now ask yourself, when you open an app, do you use it?
Woah, which video was that?
That thing has 12GB RAM, it should not reload at all
Overall though means very little either way
so you're saying the a12 is more optimized for ios 13 than the a13??? how does that make senseExposed? So this shows that the A12 is more powerful? It’s called optimization
Launching one app after another to compare phones is ludicrous. Craig Federigi even joked about the absurdity of it. It's a meaningless test
if they're not updated for ios 13 it means they're not updated on the xs AND the 11 pro.. does that make sense to u? or u no understand?
They are optimized for the A12 chip which is in the Xs. So they should work better on the A12. Once they get optimized for the A13, which is on the Pro, they should perform better. Plus the article doesn't state if the XS Max is still on 12.4 or 13.0. 13.0 is buggy, which is on the Pro. If the Xs Max is on 12.4, then the test is meaningless.

Let there be no doubt this IS Tim’s Apple.
Watch 11 take lead in 13.1 because of“slow down of a12” optimization of apps for a13. /s

Apple didn’t increase the RAM in their phones for many years and still got significant speed gains by increasing their chip efficiency year over year. IIRC the X and the 8 Plus had a RAM bump over the 7/Plus, and then the Xs/Max had a RAM bump over the X, so it does not surprise me that Apple kept the amount of RAM the same this year. We have definitely not been “played” by this.
For sure...optimization shouldn’t have anything to do with a new “Pro” model being released....that is what has been exposed and said by people in the know. They are releasing new models with just enough to say upgrade and people throw wasted money at them.
A Pro model should have blown the socks off anything that had previously released under ALL circumstances....ESPECIALLY for the money they are asking...they put all their stock in better battery life and camera....rest of phone was nothing really. Even during the keynote there were times of silence or half hearted applause from entitled invitees....that’s when you know it’s bad.
Even from the X it’s not worth the $$...only phone this year that could be acceptable release is the 11 and even then it’s questionable.
We are not talking about $500 phones here, we are talking about $ big money phones that most really can’t afford if they lived in their means. I value my $$ better than that.
Value is subjective, regardless.
- For you the upgrade might not be enough - for me it is.
- For you holding on to a mythical $500 price point for a flagship from 2005 maybe the right mindset - for me a quick price comparison with other flagship phones answers the question.
- For you current price point seems to be unaffordable by most - for me sales figures talk. Especially when there exists IUP.
- For you the moniker Pro means everything has to change on a device - for me Pro simply means a marketing terminology for better performance compared to the lower tier in the same line of products.
You see, there can’t be a sweeping statement about all this. It’s fair enough that you don’t feel the upgrade is good enough for your money and a lot of others may think the same and not upgrade this year. For me the camera and battery life was reason enough to upgrade. Especially since I’m on IUP and I’m heavily into iPhone photography. It’s a no brainer really.
