hey guys it's Brandon minimun from pocketnow.com Apple claims that the new iPhone 4s is significantly faster than its predecessor the iPhone 4 is that true we're going to test the claim in this video let's go so we're going to test both of these devices and again the iPhone 4s is on the right the iPhone 4 is on the left in four areas one startup time two application load times number three we're going to talk about the internet and web speed and number four we're going to get into gaming we're going to cover all of those things now so let's get to it both of these devices are running iOS 5 the latest versions so let's do the startup test both of these devices are turned off and by the way we've cleared cache in the in the browser and we've also turned off all third-party apps from the multitask UI so here we are right off the gate the iPhone 4s is a little bit faster with bringing up that iPhone logo the Apple logo there so let's see which gets to the slide to lock screen first it looks like the forest forest got there first and the four shouldn't be too far behind maybe by a couple of seconds there it is about four or five seconds slower than the iPhone 4s so let's slide to unlock here okay here we are let's double check that there are no applications running we already have settings running let's just kill that and make sure that it's fair here so we've got new applications running right now both of them are on the same Wi-Fi network although that we're going to do network test speeds both over Wi-Fi and over 3G because we've got full bars here so we really should be able to see the maximum speed so let's open up some applications let's start with settings ready set go okay so the 4s was definitely faster there let's open the calendar next go ok the 4s was faster there let's open the camera very important you want to take that quick shop of course cameras not loaded into the memory right now so it's going to take a little bit longer but we'll still be able to see which one does it faster ready one two three go okay the iPhone 4s was faster there okay let's open the Notes app up here we'll see which one goes faster looks like it was the iPhone 4s in that situation so across the board iPhone 4s is opening up applications more quickly which is good to see we want the 4s to be faster than the iPhone 4 okay now let's test internet speed and we're going to start off by showing the same website we're going to do pinch to zoom and test the performance then we're going to do Network speed tests by turning off Wi-Fi so let's jump into the browser and we'll see which one opens up first iPhone 4s was faster so let's load PocketNow at the same time here again over the same Wi-Fi network about the same the four was actually a little bit faster in that situation another interesting note is how that iPhone 4s screen is warmer it's a little bit more yellowish the original iPhone 4 had a very very cool screen this was one of the first iPhone 4s it shipped one of the first days that they started to send them out and with it you got that really cool screen which some people liked but Apple went to a warmer screen for subsequent versions let's click on a desktop version pocket now see which one gets there first okay the four actually got there first let's scroll down the page we get a little bit of a blank spot there on the four let's pinch to zoom ok very smooth on both of them let's click on this link see which one gets there first oh god got a little stutter there on the floor and here it comes on the 4s a little bit faster actually the four finished first amazingly the four is actually beating the 4s let's go to another website let's go to Engadget here okay the 4s killed the iPhone four there let's go to the bottom and go to the desktop version hit the wrong button there we'll go to the desktop version we'll catch up in a minute and while they're loading we're going to flick down the page it's blank on the four still blank on the floor before us one of course but it wasn't a perfect test because we didn't start at the same time let's go back to the top here and pinch-to-zoom both very smooth here and we're going to click on a link same time 4s finish first there let's flick down the page we'll wait for the four to finish before we flip down the page flick down the page quickly pretty smooth so no real clear winner here the 4s seems faster in a lot of situations but sometimes the four is even faster might have to do with network conditions let's run speedtest.net here to determine sort of sometimes with a faster processor you get faster data speeds just by having a faster processor so we do these one at a time so that they don't clog up the network weird over Wi-Fi right now then we'll turn off Wi-Fi and go to 3G let's start with the 4s so let's see kind of data speeds we can expect over Wi-Fi this is a pretty fast Wi-Fi network that's connected to very very fast so about 19 down and 22 up let's do the for the router is about three feet behind me so it's getting a very strong signal okay looks like that's 17 down and 18 up so faster on the 4s in terms of data speeds if we ran these tests three times I know for a fact that the forest would be faster now let's see what it can do in terms of cellular data speed over AT&T 3G Apple touts that the 18 T version can get a theoretical 14 point 4 megabits per second down over HSPA+ of course that's in theory that's not going to happen in the real world so let's jump into settings real quick and turn off that Wi-Fi okay and Wi-Fi is turned off let's jump back into the speedtest.net applique and we can run them at the same time it doesn't really matter here so let's go begin test let's see what we can do in terms of data we have full bars here it looks like the iPhone 4 is actually doing a lot better than the iPhone 4s interestingly Wow clocking 5.8 down on the iPhone 4 and only 3.16 on the 4s and the upload speed will be higher on the iPhone 4s at about 1.6 megabits per second and 0.94 on the 4s real quick we're going to restart the results restart the test and we'll come back we won't make you sit through this whole thing and we're back with the test results around 2 and again the same results almost 6 megabits per second down on the 4 and half that on the 4s very interesting indeed if we take a look at some of the results that we've gotten with the 3G connection I've gone up to 6.6 megabits per second one of our editors from PocketNow Dan Webster has gotten 10 megabits per second down in Washington on the 4s most people will be happy if they see something like this on the 4 6 megabits per second is quite fast ok so let's test out gaming now we've got a really high FPS game here asphalt 6 let's see which one opens up faster we're a little bit ahead on the iPhone for us because we have that pop-up notification let's skip past this now where now we're even so we'll be able to determine speed from here iPhone 4s is ahead touch to continue touch to continue looks like a miss the press there on the for here we are let's go to a free race if we can get at the same time as you can see a little stutter there in the force let's do a normal race we're going to zoom out so we can actually play with two phones at one time fine work i zoomed out here we're gonna click normal race want to try to get it on the screen at the same time and we're going to click race and we're going to pick up two phones at once and play two iphone games at the same time not even sure this is possible but this way you can tell the difference between the graphics on both so here we go a little fly scene in the beginning they're pretty darn smooth on the iPhone 4s let's see how it looks on the four take a lot longer it still looks very smooth on the four just loading times are a lot slower a little stutter there you saw on the four okay let's skip past all of this stuff alright so this will still work it'll not work perfectly but you'll be able to get the point if you see me crashing a lot that's because these are not synchronized definitely a difference in terms of the frame rate if you look at the bottom screen it's just not nearly as smooth it's just butter up top apple claims a seven times increase in gaming performance in terms of the graphical prowess of the Apple a5 chip now I'm going to focus on the bottom but definitely a difference can you see how choppy it is on the bottom not shoppi but you can definitely tell there's not as many frames per second as in the top so definitely in terms of gaming performance the iPhone 4s takes the cake so I think the surprising thing here is that while the iPhone 4s is faster in a lot of areas like starting up and loading applications it's not faster in every aspect like on the internet it's not always faster but sometimes and in terms of data speeds and our tests over Wi-Fi it was faster but over 3G that was not faster so if you want the fastest iPhone there's no doubt that the forest is the one to get it in terms of just loading applications faster that's a big enough advantage for most people to warrant the upgrade but it's not a huge blow out here it's not a it doesn't feel like a two times performance increase in terms of CPU power and a seven times increase in terms of gaming so keep that in mind when you're looking at two phones if you liked this video please give us a thumbs up and the review is about to go up on pocketnow.com check out the description you'll see the link to it and you can read everything about the iPhone for us thanks for watching
