  • Watch: iPhone XS Max's A12 Bionic smokes Samsung's Galaxy Note 9

    The A12 being so fast and efficient does matter a lot. People trying to downplay it are just being shortsighted, I hope the author can test apps like Adobe Premiere Clips to really show what advantages Apple has over everyone else in real CPU tests. Opening big games like Fortnite and PUBG will also prove that.

    Lastly, the fact the A12 is so fast will affect battery life a lot, if a games is locked at 30fps and uses 50% of the GPU on the Note 9 or the A11 chip that same game might only use 25% GPU on the A12 which would give you more playing time, a very nice thing to have.

    What Apple is doing is future proofing their devices making sure they are relevant for 4+ years which is not the case in the Android world, the resale value of iPhones really showcase that stark difference!

    Still hiding behind benchmarks lol! Try a real world test, you know the kind many reviewers do on YouTube, with app and ram tests and battery. In all of those the note smokes the x with laughable ease. Without exagerration, I have an old Samsung kitkat device and an iPad 2018, the kitkat device opens word quicker than the iPad, how is that acceptable. Benchmarks mean zilch real world is what matters and iOS does not thrive there,


    I want the gaming websites to test graphics cards using my new method. It goes like this:


    Launch a game. When it finally gets to the main screen, exit the game without playing. Then launch another game, and exit when it gets to the main screen. Do this numerous times for multiple games. Make sure to do this two times and record the overall time as well as the time for each "lap". Whichever PC does this faster has the superior graphics card.

    Now think for a second how stupid this sounds. When gamers test video cards they actually PLAY the games. They play them at multiple resolutions (1080P, 1440P or 2160P). They play the games with varying detail settings. They play the games at different anti-aliasing (AA) settings. They will measure the FPS at each of these combinations with multiple games. Then they will crunch the numbers and come up with a rating for a video card.

    The only reason Android fanboys like these stupid "App race" tests on YouTube is because it's the only way they can come up with the occasional win against an iPhone.

    Sorry, but anyone who thinks those are legitimate tests is an idiot.
    HAHA well said, the main reason Android wins sometimes at these tests is because they ship out of the box with accelerated animations. I have been begging Apple for years to give us the option turn them off completely not just reduce motion with the same lag.

    I'll toss your suggestion to the video crew.
    Thanks!

    Mike, can you guys do an export test with Adobe Clips? That is a real world test that should show the real gap. Also opening big games like Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat X would be great. Thank you.

    When it comes to Antutu there is a bug with the iOS app. If you drill down on the graphics test it says 0 for Refinery which removes at least 40,000 points from the score. I was able to replicate that same bug on the iPad too.
