We have already seen a battery life test video for the new iPhone 12, and now we have a speed test video of the iPhone 12 vs iPhone 11.
Apple’s new iPhone 12 is powered by the A14 Bionic processor, while the iPhone 11 is powered by the A13 Bionic processor. Let’s find out which handset is the fastest. Both handsets also come with 4GB of RAM.
Performance Comparison
As we can see from the video, there does not appear to be much of a performance improvement on the new iPhone 12 over last year’s iPhone 11. The A14 Bionic chip is built on a 5-nanometer process, which theoretically offers better efficiency and performance compared to the 7-nanometer A13 Bionic chip. However, in real-world usage, the difference might not be as noticeable for most users.
The A14 Bionic processor does bring some improvements in terms of machine learning capabilities and graphics performance. For instance, the A14 chip has a 16-core Neural Engine, which can perform up to 11 trillion operations per second, compared to the 8-core Neural Engine in the A13. This makes the iPhone 12 more adept at handling tasks that involve artificial intelligence and machine learning, such as photo and video editing, augmented reality applications, and more.
New Features in iPhone 12
If you already own the iPhone 11, then it looks like there will not be much point upgrading to the iPhone 12 unless you want its new features. The iPhone 12 introduces several new features that might be appealing to some users. One of the most significant upgrades is the introduction of 5G connectivity, which promises faster download and upload speeds, lower latency, and a more reliable connection in areas with 5G coverage.
Another notable feature is the new Super Retina XDR display, which offers better contrast, higher brightness, and improved color accuracy compared to the Liquid Retina display on the iPhone 11. The iPhone 12 also features a new Ceramic Shield front cover, which Apple claims offers four times better drop performance.
The camera system on the iPhone 12 has also seen some improvements. While both the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 have dual-camera systems with a 12MP wide and ultra-wide lens, the iPhone 12 benefits from a new seven-element lens and a larger aperture on the wide camera, which allows for better low-light performance and sharper images.
It will be interesting to see how the other new iPhones perform, particularly the iPhone 12 Pro Max when it launches next month. The Pro models come with additional features such as a LiDAR scanner for improved augmented reality experiences and better low-light photography, as well as a telephoto lens for enhanced zoom capabilities.
In conclusion, while the iPhone 12 does offer some improvements over the iPhone 11, the performance gains might not be significant enough to warrant an upgrade for most users. However, the new features such as 5G connectivity, improved display, and enhanced camera capabilities might be compelling reasons for some to make the switch.
