iPhone 6 A8 GPU benchmark suggests it's behind the curve

12 September, 2014
The phone scores just marginally better than the iPhone 5s with the A8 GPU having little to brag about.

    That makes sense.... oh wait... it does coming from you. Jealous lies are all you know.

      MaxSmarties, 14 Sep 2014I'm using 4.4.4 on a nexus, and it still lags behind ....Lol! Lags behind what? The world leaders in app crashes on ios? Their excessive bugs and added lag? Or their system wide restrictions and lack of age old and current features that makes it a glorified app launcher?
      All just to make the Ui appear a smidgen faster?
      Or wp which still has its own share of app crashes and some lag? While also still being behind on apps and very behind in the experience of some.
      Though wp is a lot better than ios and is more like what it wishes it could be.

      They all have little hiccups. But only Android has the high level of function in comparison and still runs extremely well.

My SGS5 Camera is better than the 5S for daylight sunny shots - but - the iPhone 5S takes heaps better low light photos. As in it is a big difference. The SGS5 however does take heaps better movies as well so over all it wins. BUT - the 5S is older - I am sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Megapixels is one aspect of photography - there are many things that make a photo good.

              Just don't be ignorant to think the 5, 5S and 6 all have the same camera just because of the size of MP (8mp) that they all have. THAT shoes little knowledge.

                      Also iPhone 6 plus have real OIS which going to make low lights photos lot better and sharper.

                              Unlike you, I'm not a blind fanboy and I can see a better overall user experience in Apple's ecosystem. My next phone could easily be a sony Z3 Compact, and I know that I'm probably choosing a worse phone than the iPhone 6, in some aspects, but still my choice will be based on different reasons (like budget and battery life, for instance).
                              What truly amazed me in thread like this is the crowd of insecure fanboys storming in to bash the iPhone based only on specs lists. That's ridiculous.
