The Evolution of Apple's iPhone: A Comparative Analysis
In this article, we will delve into the evolution of Apple's iPhone from its humble beginnings with the 2G model to the latest and greatest, the 6 and 6-plus. This comparative analysis will showcase how far Apple has progressed over the years, highlighting both the significant advancements and the relatively minor improvements.
The original iPhone 2G was a groundbreaking device that revolutionized the smartphone industry. As expected, every subsequent generation of iPhones has seen some form of improvement or upgrade. The question is, just how much have these devices changed? Let's take a look at the specs for each device mentioned in this article: five C-54s, four 3GS, three G, and two G, as well as the newest iPhone 6 and 6-plus.
Every single one of these iPhones represents every generation of Apple's iconic device. From the original iPhone to the latest models, it's impressive to see how far Apple has come. The fact that we have a device with so many generations under our belt is a testament to Apple's commitment to innovation and improvement. Over time, we can look back at tests like this and notice the little changes that have taken place, which may not seem significant on their own but ultimately contribute to the overall experience.
The first test in this series is the shutdown test. One thing that stands out from these devices is how quickly they all shut down. In fact, most of these devices now turn off almost instantaneously. The newer iOS 8 operating system has made a huge difference in this regard. However, it's during the boot-up test where things start to get really interesting. As we move further along with these phones, the weaker devices are noticeable. For example, surprisingly, the iPhone 5s boots up first, followed by the iPhone 6 and 6-plus, then the 5c, narrowly beating out the iPhone 2g, which is in last place. This might be because Apple decided to give the older device an extra boost of speed, making it a worthwhile option for those looking to upgrade from their 4.
Another test we ran was a Geekbench test. Unfortunately, the results did not show any significant differences between these devices. The 3G and 2g struggled to complete the application due to hardware limitations, taking over 15 minutes on the 3G. In contrast, the 6-plus finished in under a minute. What's even more surprising is that Apple has made little progress in terms of adding gigahertz and RAM to their devices. This is not because they are lacking in power but rather due to excellent system optimization.
The final test was loading Reddit.com using JavaScript. The newer devices loaded almost instantaneously, thanks to the new JavaScript engine. However, the older devices struggled to load it, with some failing altogether. Despite this, we did notice that the new devices performed better due to preloading and the improved JavaScript engine. It's astonishing to see how some of the older devices outperformed their newer counterparts in certain tests.
One thing is clear: upgrading from one iPhone model to another may not be worth it simply based on speed alone. While the differences between each generation are relatively small, Apple has made steady progress over the years, improving performance and overall user experience. In retrospect, it's impressive to see how far Apple has come since the original iPhone 2G.
In conclusion, this comparative analysis of Apple's iPhone from its humble beginnings to the latest models showcases both the significant advancements and the relatively minor improvements that have taken place over time. While each generation may not seem like a drastic change at first glance, it is these incremental upgrades that contribute to the overall experience. Whether you're upgrading from one device to another or simply curious about the evolution of Apple's iconic iPhone, this analysis provides valuable insights into the company's commitment to innovation and improvement.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys everything Apple Pro here and in this video I'm bringing you a comparison of ten iPhones that's right ten iPhones from the newest iPhone 6 plus iPhone 6 down to the 5s five c-54s four 3GS 3G and 2g so this is every iPhone ever made and I just want to show you how far Apple has progressed from the original iPhone 2g all the way to the newest 6 and 6-plus you may be surprised every generation we see a little bit of a change not something big but over time we can look back you know through tests like these and actually see how far a policeman egde to progress now I've already done this twice and it's really interesting to see how all these iPhones stack up against each other in these tests and it's not getting an easier you know with every iPhone release that mount just keeps getting bigger and bigger and I do need help of course so I do apologize for the number of hands in this video by the first test we're gonna do is he shut down in this test I noticed there isn't much of a difference most of these devices now turn off you know almost instantaneously especially the newer devices on iOS 8 now it gets really interesting during the boot up test and take know the further right we go with these phones the weaker they are and it might surprise you which one boots up first so there are a couple factors to consider you know the newer the operating system the more features it has to boot however the older the device the weaker it is so that makes a really interesting mix when doing the startup test all these devices have been freshly restored on their newest firmware so first place isn't the 6 or 6 plus it's the iPhone 5s quickly followed by the iPhone 6 and then the 6 plus then the 5c then narrowly the iPhone 2g then the 5 then the iPhone 4s 3GS and it's gonna be a while but eventually the iPhone 3G beats the iPhone 4 so iPhone 4 is in last place why is that well I think that's because Apple decided not to give up on the device they wanted to give it is 7 even though it was a little bit beyond its hardware limitation now this isn't much in terms of a hardware test so let's go ahead and run a Geekbench it's like guys know how these devices actually compare to each other in terms of RAW processing power unfortunately the 3G and 2g don't support the application and even if did I feel like I'd grow old before the application actually finished running the test on a 3G it literally took over 15 minutes whereas on the 6 plus it's under a minute and if you take a look at the actual specs I placed above these devices you'll notice that you know it's pretty low in comparison to many Android phones even the older iPhones you'll notice Apple hasn't made many huge leaps and bounds in terms of adding a lot of gigahertz and RAM to their devices and that's for a very good reason because Apple has always been great at optimizing their devices to run the latest stuff the best graphic application stuff like that without needing a lot of raw power just really good system optimization nothing surprising in the Geekbench results you know we do see a slight increase in power for every single generation next we're gonna load reddit comm and the newer devices they load it almost instantaneously thanks to the new JavaScript engine and as you can see they just go down one by one from the six plus all the way down to the 2g and the two G's out of Wi-Fi so can't load it but you know they do load it in order one by one and here we can see that the new devices do get the better JavaScript engine so they will load web pages a little bit better also thanks to pre loading as you guys can see it's kind of surprising to see some of the older devices perform better than the newer ones say the startup test but Apple has been making steady progress from the very first 2g all the way to the newest 6 plus in streamlining making them a little bit faster every single generation and I personally don't see a reason that you jump from a 5s to a new 6 or 6 plus just based on a little bit of an extra speed boost because as you guys can see they work so good as it is it's just a very marginal difference between every single generation but of course it is getting better and it's good to see in retrospect how much Apple has improved from the original iPhone 2g and I do understand that between these devices speed isn't the only difference but if you're just looking at speed between upgrading from one device to another it's really not the best idea because the differences are just so small but hopefully this video helped give you an idea of how the iPhone 2g compares to the 6 plus and everything in between have a great day guys peacehey guys everything Apple Pro here and in this video I'm
