Someone on reddit did a "normal usage" test and the Samsung was a tiny bit faster than the iphone. But every benchmark I've seen shows that the iPhone is significantly faster.
This just shows that these cross-plattform benchmarks are meaningless. Just getting the CPU to switch to the fastest core and run at max speed for a few minutes is a science in itself. And don't forget that the software stacks are completely different, we are comparing apples to oranges.
But seriously, will anyone from either camp switch due to benchmarks? I don't think anyone outside MacWorld and a few bloggers even care
- Daedren 4y agoI don't think anyone will. When it comes to these Apple v Android benchmarks it's really just to flex. Reminds me of video game console "wars". Nowadays most "standard" apps are cross-platform, but considering app and in-app purchases won't transfer over between platforms.. it must be quite an ordeal for the average person to switch platforms.
- WeylandYutani 4y agoI need a new phone and I just realized: I'm doing the exact same things on my phone as I was doing 4 years ago. So I don't really care if the latest mobile SOCs are 10 times better. Smartphone specs have become irrelevant.
- kevincox 4y agoAh, but the apps have become 8x less efficient. So if you haven't updated they will be running to slow to be usable.
