What do you mean you couldn't get a 6 or 6S?
Isn't testing phones your primary business?
Didn't you test both of them already once?
Aren't they still on sale and on display in every electronics store? (yes they are)
Where you can test them even without buying?

They knew from June 2017 and did nothing before launching iPhone 8, 8 plus and X. Why? Maybe to show bigger figures at the launch day? Yes, in my case, on iPhone 8 plus (Geekbench 4) I lost 0.78% in performance. It's (almost) nothing. But if 0.78% is nothing can they refund me (and everybody else) that nothing amount? At least I get a six-pack from this.

Mree, 15 Jan 2018Why do people try to make this about iPhone vs Android agai... moreYou have to try Note4 vs Iphone6 now then you will know what will happen to your Note8 and Iphone7. Iphone6' speed is no where near Note4 now after its performance was secretly decreased. My Note4 with 20$ new battery form samsung service store still runs all Apps very fast.

Why do people try to make this about iPhone vs Android again? Android fanatics are pathetic beyond imagination! Look, I own both an iPhone 7 and a Note 8, and I can tell easily that the iPhone 7 is a lot faster than my Note 8. However, I feel like I really got my money's worth when I bought the Note 8.
Anyway, iOS 11 is the worst iOS version in my opinion. My iPhone 7 was okay until I upgraded to iOS 11.2.1. Since that update, my battery just kept draining even when the screen is off, when usually it doesn't even decrease 1% overnight.

techperson211, 14 Jan 2018I thought iphone are virus free phone? No software is virus-free or perfect. But this is not a virus, you obviously don't know much about that matter.

Bobby, 14 Jan 2018My 6S is showing 130K+ on antutu before and after. Why are ... moreYeah, my old iPhone 6 (and alot of other peoples iPhone 6) are not affected by the patch either so its definitely not because of the Spectre fix as GSMArena is trying to say.
If it was then all units would see this drop and that is not the case. Its much more likely that they did some changes to the battery throttle algorithm in the patch so that some phones that were not affected of it (or to lesser degree) before now got a larger performance hit.

Wonder what will happen with Snapdragon/Exynos/Kirin as those have much less cache.

Anonymous, 13 Jan 2018Does anyone now whether oems will fix this at the hardware ... moreIt requires a completely new architecture to the processor, so a couple of years the phones need this patch way of handling them.

Finished or near to SoCs like the sd845, firmware/software will have to make patches, but there might be a way to mitigate some performance loss.

Does anyone now whether oems will fix this at the hardware stage I.e. qualcomm so that new phones aren't exposed needing a patch? I'm hoping new phones will already have their hardware sorted so they don't have to take a performance hit. But alot of new phones will have built up stock supplies and the fix won't be in them.

Apple:We acctualy slowed down phones but we also added option to turn of patch when in geekbench so youl see same scores after update on iphone 8 and iphone x
