I don't imagine the benchmarking software is being run through the App store process, so does the OS really make that big of a difference in the results? I'd think that if anything, the restricted nature of iOS would lower the benchmarks.

- dhosek 6y agoTo be picky, that's the hardware, not the OS. And the same argument still applies: If we're flying blind, the benchmarks may underrepresent performance (although I think you're overestimating the opacity of the i-architecture).
