Preliminary iPhone 6 Benchmarks: Browser, GPU, Web Browsing Battery Life [Charts]

GPU Performance:
AnandTech found that the iPhone 6/A8 generally had a pretty solid lead over the competition in GPU performance. Also the 2208x1242 resolution of the iPhone 6 Plus that all content is rendered at had a significant impact to GPU performance.

Web Browsing Battery Life:
The iPhone 6 beats nearly every Android smartphone on the market, according to the chart below. The iPhone 6 Plus performs even better due to its larger battery but is not able to touch the Ascend Mate 2.

The battery of the iPhone 6 lasted 11.47 hours when browsing the web over Wi-Fi. Apple claims a battery life of up to 11 hours for this task. The battery of the iPhone 6 Plus was tested to last 13.72 hours when browsing the web over Wi-Fi. This is higher than Apple's claim of 12 hours of battery life for Wi-Fi browsing.

Where is the Xperia z2 in this benchmark? You cant say ever andriod on the market if you don't include the z2?! -written on an iPhone 5S. When the z3 comes out I'll look at the benchmarks to see which is the better phone.

It is interesting to see how a dual core CPU can be faster than some quad core CPUs. It also suggests that 1Gb ram is sufficient for performance right now.

The smartphone managed to score 21204.26 with its A8 chip. Other benchmarks show the Lumia 1520 with a score of 25346.84, and the Note 3 scores 42,380. It's important to look at various real world tests.

iPhone benchmarks were reportedly taken down from some lists due to a benchmark defect.

Sony z1? The z3 is about to come out, were they afraid of posting the specs of the z2 which is far superior to the iPhone6 in every way?

So for gaming, the 6 is a better choice than the 6 plus. Very low frame rates on the 6 plus!

what happened to comparing to S5 , Note 4, etc.. anyways, its been since 6.30 am now its 1.13 pm and i have dropped from 100% to 88% , with moderate browsing, background emails and apps refreshing, and a few calls.

I'm still interested in 4g browsing. That's the real killer for me. Anyway, it looks like the iPhone 6 performs well and that's a good sign.

Why is there a tablet in phone categories?

Are you people happy with the size! I was using a note 2 and having second thoughts of getting the 6plus and may just keep my 5s !

I have been very impressed with the battery life on my iphone 6 so far:)

Clem - September 22, 2014 at 4:41pm

Battery life is the only one I feel isnt true... but if it is... awesome!
