with the release of iOS 4 for the iPhone and iPod Touch there have been a lot of really big improvements such as multitasking folders and more but one thing that really hasn't been documented much is the speed difference so guys what I've done is I have taken my iPod Touch 2nd generation and I have went ahead and restored it three point one point two a purely stock version and went ahead and ran a couple tests and then I did these same things on a totally stop version of iOS 4 just kind of give you guys a good sense of what the difference is in speed you know there have been a lot of things about iPhone 3G being a lot slower on iOS 4 because I wanted to go ahead and test on the iPod Touch 2nd generation which is of course a slightly faster device to go ahead and give you guys a good feel for how much faster or slower iOS 4 is compared to iOS 3 ok so the first test will be up Safari now of course iOS 3 is on the left and iOS 4s on the right so the first website will load is Apple comm it's pretty simple site but yeah so guys as you can see already the I the iOS 4 is quite a bit faster and yeah it's already done guys in 10 seconds or as iOS sorry is still sitting there and still sitting there so yeah guys definitely iOS 4 definitely took the cake on this one and guys I will mention that these this is just an average I did run this test many many times so no worries about you know Wi-Fi issues okay so the second one is didrik and it's a mobile site and as it should be very quickly and yes there yo I Oh s4 is already done and there's iOS 3 so guys again iOS 4 browser is quite a bit faster not a huge difference but it's a pretty substantial upgrade next we have engage calm so guys this is the full site not the mobile and instantly iOS 4 jumps to lead but guys one thing I noticed is that when you're loading big sites such as in gadget which has lots and lots of images you know it's a very very you know featured full site both both times it kind of just gets ball knifed by the fact that the iPod touch only has a 500 megahertz processor so you can see guys i mean we're closing on 30 seconds here neither of them are done of course you can pan the zoom slightly while it is loading but generally like to go ahead and you know wait so as we'll see here actually they pretty much end up as a tie so I'm almost done right now you probably could go ahead and scroll some bad yeah there you go so iOS 3 and iOS 4 both done so guys let's say that's a tie but in general guys I definitely do like Safari on iOS 4 it is quite a bit faster so it's definitely a good thing ok guys so the next thing is the Maps application and guys I speed tested this and really there's not a whole lot of a difference iowa's for looks slightly better as you guys can see it seems to kind of cache it a bit faster but guys there's not a huge difference Maps is practically the same ok guys so the last one will be launching an app and I did this many times but this is real racing guys again not a huge difference um it was slightly faster on iOS 3 sometimes sometimes it's slightly faster on iOS 4 so as you guys can see here this time iOS 3 barely won but guys there's not a huge difference nothing like you know on Android 2.2 where it's gonna load your apps faster or anything it's pretty much the same just because you know of course it is really based on the hardware so guys apps and maps neither of them are too much faster on iOS 4 oh wait guys so that's it for my you know brief speed test so guys there's not a ton of a difference um I will mention I did not see a whole lot of slowdown in general on iOS for like some people are saying so guys I would really definitely recommend going ahead and upgrading to iOS 4 so far is good bit a good bit faster and generally the OS does seem really nice quick and responsive anyway guys thanks for watching
