According to this link, the currently shipping iPhone is roughly 1.75x as fast as the 6S (Geekbench score of ~4200 vs. 2400):

- Alex3917 8y agoThe limiting factor of phone performance though is mainly modem quality though, and to a less extent RAM. A 1.75x increase in some CPU/GPU-bound benchmark is nice, but it's not going to make your web pages render that much faster in practice. Whereas the performance is going to increase dramatically once we get access to the new 600MHz spectrum, 4x4 MIMO, etc.
- pertymcpert 8y agoExcept all the cases where it isn't limited by the modem. For example, web pages, heavy web apps on wifi, you know, native apps, games.
- tbrock 8y agoThat’s crazy out of touch. The modem is definitely not the limiting factor. I get better LTE bandwidth than I do on my home fiber. Latency is an issue, sure but not as much as CPU here.
