iPhone 4 vs iPod Touch (2010) - Speed Test

2010-09-08
what's up everyone John Breton you're from TechnoBuffalo here back with a video driven from rock curiosity the new 2010 ipod touch is so similar to the iPhone 4 it's got the same a4 processor it's got the same Retina display same amount of RAM and the specs let's just keep going on and on main difference being its lack of a cellular radio so I was just very curious to see if there's any sort of speed difference between the iPhone 4 and the iPod Touch so I'm gonna put these two head-to-head and a few speed tests and see if we've got a winner alright so both the iPhone 4 in the iPod Touch are running the most current version of iOS iOS 4.1 and both have no programs and no processes running the background I know Apple manages their memory a bit differently but you want to show that both were clean had nothing running in the background both are have the same wireless capabilities 802 11 and are connected via the same router on the same Wi-Fi network so this webpage loading test should be pretty close all the rest of these tests is relatively unscientific just curious if we see which one is faster so the pages that we're gonna load are pages that have been viewed on both devices before so consider this a test of sites that you visit on a regular basis so we're gonna go ahead and load Safari it's gonna load TechnoBuffalo first and we'll see if we've got a winner go ahead and then safari at exactly the same time or at least as close as I can get there we go and both are off I've got the iPhone 4 on the left and the iPod Touch on the right so Safari is loading pretty quickly on each and if those of you who are wondering why I've got airplane mode on the iPhone 4 it's my daily phone I don't like phone call or text messaging to come in while I am filming TechnoBuffalo is a pretty graphics heavy page so there's a lot of content to load here looks like we're almost done on each iPhone 4 still loading iPod Touch is still loading I should mention - and I've got a video uploading the background on this network while I'm doing these tests so it should affect both same time in the same way so the ipod touch finished just a hair quicker the iPhone 4 is still chugging along or at least trying to chug along and is now done so the iPod Touch actually finished noticeably quicker on that speed test let's go like Lotus site like ESPN it's gonna load the mobile page by default see if there's any sort of difference here i'm Meccans are gonna be an unscientific test so right now we've got the iPod Touch being a bit quicker there's ESPN ESPN here as well and we'll go to let's go to the main ESPN site and see if we can see any sort of speed difference all right so that's loading as well and we are going to the mobile version first it looks like the iPod Touch very handily be to the iPhone 4 let's go ahead and go down to the bottom and it will give us an option to launch the full page and ESPN is a very graphics and there's some video sort of embedded on there so see if there's a big difference here as well I'll open each up get that to say open do the same thing here and we'll go ahead and hit open and see if that seems to be different phones true with the iPod Touch being a bit faster than the iPhone 4 so it looks like the iPhone 4s got a bit of an early age so actually the showing stuff now almost exactly the same time iPhone 4 maybe just a little bit faster at this point and we'll see how this ends up we can already start to see content you can see pictures you can see some of the articles sort of up in the upper right hand corner and both are still loading and appear to be loading them relatively slowly the content is still coming in it looks like both are hung up at almost exactly the same place maybe there's some sort of content on the website that is slow running for mobile devices so and again it looks like we're watching this in stereo half at exactly the same time here it looks like maybe the iPhone 4 is got a bit of a speed edge we can already go through and view the content on each go ahead and all restart to scroll through and see what things look like and the ipod touch just finished the iPhone 4 finish a little bit later so there we go the iPod Touch they're very long-winded tests does load of webpages a little bit faster and then behind phone for even when the network is bogged down with uploading so you can see now let's go ahead and jump on and do a few other tests let's see how it opens applications so since both these have the same processor in the same operating system also the same applications let's go and open some of the similar ones and see if there is any speed difference let's start with the App Store loading so it opened up at exactly the same time you saw as icons show up I mean really you can see it one by one by one happening at exactly the same time so really no difference here with the App Store let's go ahead and open up something like iTunes use any difference there as well so go into my apps folder and open up iTunes so everything's showing up now pretty close to the same looks like maybe the iPhone 4 is a little bit faster here loading its content you can also see that in iTunes on iOS 4.1 you've got ping I'll show you that in a later video but it's present on any of the aya devices here to check out so really in this very unscientific test of rock curiosity really nothing got got answered with a great degree of certainty both loaded websites pretty similarly perhaps the iPod Touch was a little bit faster speed ones than the iPhone 4 it seems like the same hardware is going to yield the same speed results I was wondering if maybe the iPod Touch might be optimized a bit better so it doesn't have to do the same processes that the iPhone 4 does namely the phone calls and always be searching for Network things like that but appears that both are very very similar and we guys hope you enjoyed this very again unscientific test I'm John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo be sure to stay tuned to the channel and the website for all kinds of upcoming tech news all that information will be down below see in the next video buh-bye you
