Apple picker When Phill Shiller talked about the performance of the new 64-bit Apple A7 chipset on stage during the last keynote, he was not exaggerating. Editorial office MacWorld.com put the iPhone 5s, along with several other iPhones on the most powerful Android phones, to a performance test. Apple claims about its new A7 processor that it is twice as fast as the A6, which was also confirmed in the tests carried out. Among other things, it also turned out that the iPhone 5C had slightly worse results in testing than the iPhone 5, which has the same processor.
In the results of the Geekbench test, it can be seen that the iPhone 5S is twice as fast as the iPhone 5C, which is, however, 10% behind the year-old iPhone 5. But the iPhone 4 is the worst, whose results were six times worse than those of the iPhone 5C. The Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One, which are powered by a quad-core Snapdragon processor, were also included in the testing. Nevertheless, the iPhone 5S with the A7 processor was 33% faster than the Galaxy S4 and 65% faster than the HTC.
In the Geekbench Single-Core Score test, the Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5C did the same, but in the Multi-Core Score test, the Galaxy S4 already outperformed the iPhone 5C by 58%.
The Sunspider JavaScript test showed a result of 5 milliseconds for the iPhone 454S versus 708 milliseconds for the iPhone 5, which was, however, one millisecond faster than the iPhone 5C. It also revealed that the iPhone 5S is 3,5 times faster than the iPhone 4 and that both new iPhone models are faster than the tested Android phones.
The iPhone 5S was three and a half times faster than the iPhone 4, but both new iPhones were faster than the Android competition in this test.
Thanks to the GFXBench 2.7 T-Rex C24Z16 1080p on-screen test, it was found that the iPhone 5S is able to project 25 frames per second, and the iPhone 5c together with the iPhone 5 are 3,5 times worse. Not to mention the iPhone 4, which was unable to project even 3 frames per second.
On the other hand, in the T-Rex on-screen test, which runs at the device's standard resolution, all iPhone models achieved a higher number of frames. Nevertheless, the iPhone 5S with its 37 frames was almost three times faster than the iPhone 5C, which achieved only 13 frames, and the iPhone 5 surpassed it by one more frame. And as for Android phones, they achieved scores around 15 shots, so they were almost on par with the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5.
In the T-Rex off-screen test, the Android phones performed twice as well as the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5, but still trailed the iPhone 5 by ten frames. In the less demanding Egypt test, the iPhone 5S was still faster than the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5, but no longer outpaced them by a factor of two. And again, Android phones proved to be closer to the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5, which were ten frames ahead, but still fifteen frames short of matching the iPhone 5S.
Another pleasantly surprising thing about the iPhone 5S is its battery life. In MacWorld's test, which consists of repeatedly playing one video, it lasted up to 11 hours, but the iPhone 5C didn't put itself to shame, which lasted 10 hours and 19 minutes. The iPhone 5 with the new iOS7 discharged a full 90 minutes earlier than the iPhone 5S. It's even worse for Android phones, as the Samsung lasted 7 hours in a similar test, and the HTC One reached 6 hours and 45 minutes in the same test. Of the other phones, the best is the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx with a giant battery that lasted 13 hours in the same test.
10 hours to use?? I don't see how they got that phone. Probably factory settings, back app and everything turned off. Then maybe, but not really. Personally, I have a maximum of 7.5 hours and that is important to me and not some flimsy ego test. And the fact that the iPh5 is faster than the 4 is also amazing, users of the XNUMX with a XNUMX-bit iOs know all about it. :D
I don't know about the iPhone, but the given values are correct for the iPad.
That is, 10 hours of wifi + work, 10 hours of movies, etc...
But it is logical that no one has the same installed as you ;-). They wouldn't do anything else, and it would compare poorly with other mobile phones.
Even though I stayed with 5ke :D I knew that 5Céčko would be worse :D chachacha :D
That's the same (what do you say). The 5ka is the same as the 5Cv with a different jacket and a different battery. Maybe it's better optimized for iOS 7.
So it's hard to say which one is better, when it's actually the same ;-).
Now the question arises - is the phone (iP5S) even capable of using such a high performance in any real way? Do I recognize it as a normal user? Or is it just something that looks nice in benchmark tests, but not much else?…
Yes...you can easily recognize it when editing a home video in iMovie and exporting-rendering, or simply when working with photos...the edits happen immediately and I don't delay you. Yes...you can say that video editing or photo editing on a mobile phone is stupid and that computers are for that. It suits me quite well and you can really make a nice video on a mobile phone... only 16GB is quite small... but when filming, the space fills up very quickly, with slow motion it will certainly be a joke. By the way, even on Android or WP there is no other practical use, that is, if we don't play games...
If you don't do complex things on it (e.g. video editing) and you don't play the latest 3D games, you don't need it and you won't use it.
Today, it's not really about performance, it's about optimization, which is logically easier for 10 devices than for thousands of devices.
You can only shop at the Apple Store in the country you are in. If you are in the Czech Republic, you cannot buy in an American or German store.
US prices are exclusive of tax and only one year warranty applies. If you pay extra for the second year of the warranty in the American store, you get practically exactly the same price as in Germany.
I think it's mainly because of the taxes that don't apply in America. The warranty is smaller.
Correct the headline: "According to benchmarks, the iPhone 5s is the most powerful iPhone on the market", because in the test, or included, other phones perform ...
Totally useless promotional article. The iPhone 5s is hardly average compared to 5-inch smartphones these days. I don't even have to think and immediately think of smartphones that are more powerful and technically better in every respect (camera, display, battery, processor) than the mentioned S5, for example: sony xperia z1, LG g2, xiaomi mi3, nexus 5 and many others. The iPhone 5s is the most powerful of the iPhones, but compared to the competition, it sucks, so we won't be able to benchmark the other flagships released by phone manufacturers this year.
