iOS 9.3 vs iOS 9.2 Speed Test - Is It Faster

**New Features and Updates in iOS 9.3**

iOS 9.3 has arrived with a plethora of new features and updates that will surely excite users. One of the most notable additions is the support for three new Siri languages: Malaysian Malay, Hebrew, and Finnish. This means that users can now interact with Siri in their native language, making it easier to access information and perform tasks.

Another exciting feature is the addition of 3D Touch on newer devices. With this feature, users can quickly switch between apps by peeking into the app switcher from the side of the screen. However, for those who used to pop into the app switcher, there's now a vibration that accompanies the transition, making it feel more immersive.

In addition to these features, iOS 9.3 also brings several improvements to the News application. Users can now swipe through news articles and quickly share them on social media or save them for later. The app also allows users to report spam or dislike certain channels, giving them more control over their news experience.

Furthermore, iOS 9.3 introduces iCloud syncing, allowing users to export their EOP files or PDFs from iBooks and sync them across all of their devices. This feature is especially useful for students who need to access their digital notes and materials on multiple devices.

**Speed Test: How Does iOS 9.3 Compare to Its Predecessor?**

To test the performance of iOS 9.3, we compared it to its predecessor, iOS 9.2. We started by testing the startup time of each device using a speed test app. The results showed that iOS 9.2 stayed the fastest, with an average startup time of around 1-2 seconds on newer devices like the iPhone 5S and 6S. However, when we tested older devices like the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, the results were different.

On the iPhone 4S, iOS 9.2 was still faster than iOS 9.3 by about a second or two. On the other hand, on newer devices like the iPhone 6 and 6S models, the results were more surprising. In this case, iOS 9.3 performed slightly better than iOS 9.2.

The speed test continued with Spotlight search, which proved to be an area where iOS 9.3 excelled. Compared to its predecessor, iOS 9.3 was significantly faster on all devices, including the iPhone 4S and older models like the iPhone 5.

However, when it came to the app switcher, results were mixed. On some devices, like the iPhone 6, the app switcher performed slightly better with iOS 9.2. On other devices, like the iPhone 6S, the app switcher was slower on iOS 9.3.

The Settings application also showed a slight improvement in speed with iOS 9.3, although the difference was minor. The Camera app also performed slightly faster on newer devices, but this was not the case for all models.

**Geekbench Results: A Closer Look at Performance**

To get a more detailed look at the performance of iOS 9.3, we ran some geekbench tests on various devices. In single-core mode, the results showed that iOS 9.3 and iOS 9.2 performed almost identically on older devices like the iPhone 5S. However, when it came to multi-core testing, iOS 9.3 was slightly faster.

As a bonus, we also ran some Wi-Fi speed tests, which revealed an interesting result. On all devices except the iPhone 5S, iOS 9.3 performed poorly in terms of Wi-Fi speed. This suggests that there may be some issues with the new firmware on these older devices.

Overall, while iOS 9.3 showed promise in certain areas like Spotlight search and iCloud syncing, it also had its limitations. The performance results were mixed across different devices, and some features like the app switcher performed worse than expected.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys everything Apple Pro here and as is customary on this channel I'm going to be showing you the new iOS update in a speed comparison test so in this video iOS 9.3 beta 1 versus iOS 9.2 9.02 being the firmware that came along and was buttery smooth it fixed almost every issue I had with iOS 9 how can IOS 9.3 compare that's my question so in this video I'm going to be running a number of tests on every device that currently runs I 9 at the moment the 5c will not be included because it has the same processing power as the iPhone 5 but otherwise let's see how does highest 9.3 compare to 9.2 speed-wise and take note this is a beta at the moment so this will not give a full representative view of the full firmware 9.2 ran really slow in beta stage but was very very smooth in the final result but before I get into that there are a few iOS 9.3 features I wanted to share that I hav't in my last video so I accidentally missed them and I wanted to go back and show you them there are actually several cool ones so the weather application also has 3D touch and I didn't show that in my last video so it'll have the most recent or where you're located and then the other ones you have right there also the health application it will show dashboard and medical ID if you take a live photo using a 6S or 6s plus if you actually go into that photo you will now have an option to export it just as a photo so using the duplicate option in the share settings you can easily ort it just as a still photo instead of a live photo in the wallet application all of your tabs will actually have the app they belong to in the bottom left right now so you can go ahead and click on that and it'll take you to that app right away so there are three new Siri languages those would be Malaysian Malay Hebrew and Finnish so awesome getting smarter and smarter every software update now as we know with 3D touch on 6s and 6s plus you can get into the app switcher from the side however in this latest update the moment you peek into the app switcher you will feel vibration now that vibration was only there previously when you would pop into it just like that now you get a vibration on Peak and on aop in iBooks there is now iCloud so you can go ahead and Export your own EOP files or PDF into the cloud and sync them across to all of your other devices and the last one in the News application you can go ahead and swipe and get these option to like save share swipe the other way it'll dislike mute the channel or report the actual news source so really cool just a bunch of new features that I didn't share with you in my last video but in that video If you haven't seen it go check it out iOS 9.3 is awesome and jam-packed with new features so all right enough with the features let's get to the speed so on the left is the newer firmware being 9.3 on the right 9.2 we've got the three oldest devices in a startup battle starting in three 2 1 and these are all lined up on the same power source so it's not a very scientific test but you know a speed test does generally say say a lot about the overall speed of the device so I'm curious to see out of these which is faster and iOS 9.2 stays the fastest by several seconds on the iPhone 5S iOS 9.2 is still faster on the iPhone 5 by a good 5 seconds and iOS 9.3 is actually faster than 9.2 on the 4S by about a second 2 seconds same deal on the iPhone 6 and 6s models starting up in 2 1 it's close o 9.2 is faster on both wow so um yeah Point has been made 9.3 is not faster in the startup test now the sad thing about the iPhone 4S on iOS 9.3 is that it does not get that awesome feature with the diability basically f. luux sad that it doesn't get it but performance- wise probably makes sense so usability Let's uh let's see how 9.3 Compares Spotlight wow abysmally bad but faster on 9.3 one two wow so uh the app switcher is horribly slow on both really maybe Apple really shouldn't have put ios9 in here but I will defend it till the end I'm still glad Apple keeps it current in app store 9.2 loaded it several seconds faster settings about the same camera camera so 9.2 was faster on the 4S iPhone 5 Spotlight slow two app switch are about the same app store about the same settings same so performance- wise in the user interface not seeing much of a difference here on older devices 5S one two o so 9.2 is still faster 9.3 is faster for spotlight search about the same for Settings App Store is faster so I'm definitely seeing a pattern here and Camera mes a little bit faster 9.3 iPhone 6 Spotlight about the same switcher 9.2 was faster App Store 9.2 and last device the 6s 9.3 uh Spotlight is faster one two app switcher is slower on 9.3 settings same app store 9.2 was faster all right enough of that uh let's go ahead and get a geek bench going in here and see number-wise how the performance Stacks up all right so here are the results of the geekbench I was 9.3 versus 9.2 on the 4S 5 5s and six in single core score was marginally marginally better otherwise there's almost no difference and I West 9.2 still performed better and as a bonus I threw in the Wi-Fi speed test it's funny on all devices except the 5S iOS 9.3 performed very very poorly in the Wi-Fi Department all right so there you guys go iOS 9.3 not looking very good so far I'm a little disappointed because it seemed snappier to me but when I actually put it down and test tested it not so much hopefully the performance will improve again this is a beta it's to be expected I will keep you guys updated on the final release and I will post a full speed test once that's out as well have a great day guys enjoy iOS 9.3 if you do decide to upgrade it's an awesome awesome firmware
