With each generation, iPhones are getting faster and faster. Apple claims that the iPhone 5S is 40 times faster than the first iPhone. However, how much does this increase in productivity manifest in everyday use? This is one of the oldest questions, which scientists and wise men are fighting over. Unsuccessfully.
Okay, if not really so. But you see, it would be great to bring all the iPhones together and see what happens.
Gathering all eight generations of iPhones released since 2007 and a bunch of extra hands for synchronicity, the guys from EverythingApplePro's youtube channel made a comparative test that shows how quickly each device copes with basic actions: from system loading to site loading. ')
Today we learned a lot :
Unlocking a whole range of iPhones in one motion looks amazing.
There is a huge difference in speed between 3G / 3GS and 4, especially noticeable during the browser test. This is probably largely due to the improvements in Safari in newer versions of iOS (3GS stopped receiving updates after iOS 6.1.3, and 3G already after 4.2.1).
Turning off iOS 7 takes a surprisingly long time.
You are not crazy if you are using iOS 7 on iPhone 4: downloading it really lasts forever.
The difference in speed in everyday activities (for example, loading pages) is less after 4S. On the iPhone 5 and newer models it is very difficult to notice. Obviously, the difference will be much more noticeable in heavy applications like 3D games. However, when browsing the Internet and other daily activities it is almost impossible to achieve a breakthrough.
