**The Speed Test: Comparing iOS 10 and iOS 11**

When it comes to speed, Apple has been working tirelessly to optimize its operating system for faster performance. In this ultimate speed test, we'll put the latest iOS 11 to the test on various devices to see how they compare to their predecessors, iOS 10.

**The Device Selection Process**

We started by selecting a range of devices to test, including the iPhone 5s, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, and 7 Plus. This allowed us to see how each device would perform with the latest iOS 11, as well as its corresponding iOS 10 version.

**The Test Process**

To conduct our tests, we began by watching the unlock animation on each device. We noticed that Apple had taken a significant step forward in this department, with the newer devices offering much faster animations. The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were still the slowest to unlock, followed closely by the iPhone 5s.

**Unlock Animation Comparison**

The camera app was also put through its paces, with all devices bar the iPhone 7 Plus struggling to load in a timely manner. However, the iPhone 7 Plus proved to be the fastest of the bunch, while the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were still noticeably slower.

**Control Center Speed**

Moving on to the control center, we found that all devices performed similarly, with the iPhone 5s being the slowest to load. However, once the icons had loaded, the experience was smooth and seamless.

**App Switcher Speed**

The app switcher was another area where speed was an issue, particularly for the iPhone 5s. The newer devices were able to quickly switch between apps without any noticeable lag.

**Notification Center Speed**

The notification center also experienced some minor delays, although these were largely due to the sheer amount of content being displayed on screen.

**Settings App Speed**

In terms of speed, the settings app was one of the fastest to load, with all devices bar the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus performing similarly.

**App Store Speed**

The app store was another area where speed was an issue, particularly for the iPhone 5s. However, once the apps had loaded, the experience was smooth and seamless.

**Geekbench Benchmark Results**

To provide a more comprehensive view of each device's performance, we ran a series of Geekbench benchmarks. These tests provided valuable insights into each device's processing power and overall speed.

**Multi-Core Score Comparison**

The multi-core score for iOS 11 seemed to be higher across the board, with most devices showing significant improvements over their iOS 10 counterparts.

**Single-Core Score Comparison**

However, it was worth noting that the single-core score for some devices was actually lower than those of their iOS 10 counterparts. This suggests that while overall performance may have improved, individual components still require optimization.

**Benchmarks: The Verdict**

The results from our benchmarks provided a clear picture of each device's performance in terms of speed and processing power. While there were some minor differences between devices, the overall trend was one of significant improvement over iOS 10.

**Conclusion: Is iOS 11 Worth Upgrading To?**

So, is iOS 11 worth upgrading to? In our opinion, it depends on your specific device and needs. For those with newer devices such as the iPhone 6s and beyond, the speed benefits are undeniable. However, for those with older devices or limited budgets, there may not be enough of a reason to upgrade.

**The Verdict: Stability Still Needs Improvement**

While iOS 11 offers significant speed improvements over its predecessor, stability is still an issue. There were numerous visual glitches and bugs reported during our testing, and it's clear that Apple has a long way to go in terms of polishing the final product.

**Recommendation**

So, what do we recommend? If you're due for an update, wait until future iterations of iOS 11 come out. The current version still has some notable issues with stability and performance, although they are largely minor and may be resolved in future updates.

Overall, our ultimate speed test has provided a comprehensive view of how each device performs under the latest iOS 11. While there's still work to be done in terms of stability, the speed benefits are undeniable.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys Iowa's eleven was released today I'm sure a lot of you before updating wanted to see is it faster is it slower how is the performance on my device so that's why I assembled every single iPhone that currently supports iOS 11 right now including the 5s 6 6 s se - 7 + 7 + series just to give you a very solid idea in many areas many tests how I Wis 11 is compared to iOS 10 point three point three so iOS 11 versus iOS 10 is it faster is it slower and overall how is the performance that's what I want to see with this video so let's go ahead and get started alright so I'm gonna start with the three oldest series here so we got the 5s the 6 and the SE now on the Left will be iOS 11 on all of these and on the right I was ten point three point three so I'm gonna go ahead and start them up in three two one and they are off so I expect Iowa's lover to be slower in my earlier tests it was but that was in the earlier versions of Iowa's Levin who knows it could surprise me for some reason this is a really dim screen I noticed that's in Iowa's 11 it does this weird thing where it starts booting up flashes turns on again and there we go so I was 10 did turn on first on the iPhone se series also on the iPhone 6 by a considerable five seconds at least also the 5s Hana I was 10 beat the iPhone 6 and iOS 11 interesting there we go so I was 10-1 on all of these devices by at least five seconds on the older devices on the 5s as you can see that was like a 10 to 15 second difference so quite significant Wow not sure that I would update my 5s to iOS 11 just from this test alone let's move on to the three newer ones all right in the same deal I was 11 on the left ten point three point three on the right and three two one and they are off so this is the 6s series the seven and seven plus on the right I wanted to throw these guys in here because they do have an additional gigabyte of RAM and that might make a difference here there's that bothersome flashing and iOS love and don't even know why it does that wow these guys are quick the seven and seven plus and I was hen put it up first and there goes I owe s11 last on all of them so if you guys are worried about your device starting up a little bit slower for whatever reason I was 11 does slow down the startup of your device maybe because of all the new assets the new features it has to load so yeah that does bother me a little bit but I don't turn my device off too much for it to really matter alright so starting with these slowest devices I wanted to do an unlock animation test and actually just to show up the clock take a look at that it actually takes longer if you want to check your time that's gonna appear in a delay and that's gonna add up I guess throughout the course of your day huh it's a bit annoying alright unlocking in three two one with the screen on Oh both did not respond once again with the screen on one two three ooh I forget it's a first generation touch ID it's slower so Iowa's lovin does unlock a little bit slower check that out and then with the screen off one two three yeah definitely a little bit of a hanging there alright so control center who I was 10 is still a bit sticky Notification Center now the cover sheets pretty much the same we don't really have that bounce anymore let's try the absolute sure one two about the same so not say terrible difference so pretty much the same with the cleared app switcher let's go ahead and open up settings one two three oh wow there is quite a hang on I was 11 and the app switcher 1 2 3 or the app store I mean and did load first cool faster and I was 11 1 2 3 4 the camera iowa's 10 did load that faster considerable amount of delay on iOS 11 and next up with the iPhone 6 screen on touch ID 1 2 3 Oh both about the same there and with the screen off 1 2 3 a little bit of a hang on the iPhone 6 with the lock screen now control center both a bit sticky not sure what that's about alright and the lock screen or cover sheet about the same there app switcher 1 2 a little bit of a hang I was 10 now huh and clear the app switcher into three again it hangs on Iowa's eleven for a considerable amount of time but I haven't been really using Iowa's 11 on this guy often so it may be just because of that and actually opening and closing an app just about the same on both they do have that nice little animation jumping into the App Store one two three and again faster on Iowa's eleven that is nice the new app store is fast and the camera one two three again slower on iOS 11 not liking this trend here alright and the iPhone se series so with the screen on unlocking one two three o massive delay there on Iowa's ten one two three there we go a little bit better the screen off one two three about the same apps which are one two very quick and responsive one two there we go yeah and the Notification Center so it feels pretty much the same to me and clear the app switcher settings one two same no delay on this one App Store - and again loaded just a tad bit faster and I was slow I'm liking that camera one - slower on iOS 11 even on the iPhone se alright and the iPhone 6s from this point on I don't really expect much of a difference from lock screen in three two one both pretty quick this is where I was ten starts to hang notice that the animation is quicker now on iOS 11 and with the screen on one two three definitely faster on Iowa's 11 Wow this is the turning point 6s now control center one two three both pretty much - saying I don't like how sticky this one feels it doesn't have the bounce that Iowa's 10 did and Notification Center one two about the same then again you don't waste time with the bounce like trying to wait for it to finish the animation so I guess Apple thought that through and the app switcher one two and settings one two same App Store one two let's see both a little slow on this one and the camera one two again slower on iOS 11 alright and the iPhone is seven here we go lock screen animation one two three a little bit faster and Iowa's 11 silkscreen on one two three definitely faster wow that is impressive one two three I think that alone is a very compelling reason to update to iOS 11 just because you spend a lot of your time waiting for your device to unlock and if that means a twice as fast unlock on the newer devices by all means update Iowa's love and that is seriously awesome so inside let's try the control center about the same there this one has so much stuff to load though let's try the absolute zero to Oh faster on I was ten on both tries interesting Notification Center well to same stress settings one two about the same app store one two and I was ten loaded that one faster camera one two again iOS ten loads the camera faster let's see if that's consistent though if we clear it out to try it again is it still slower one two nope actually I feel like that was a one-time thing one two I know it is it does have a tiny little delay before opening and the seven plus series with that additional gigabyte of RAM one two three about the same on this one one two three a little bit slower in iOS ten and with the screen on on two three so yeah with the screen on you do get a little bit of a faster animation definitely I'm liking that spectral center bit of a delay just cuz have so many icons on Iowa's love an app switcher one too I was 10 yeah there's a hang for some reason Notification Center about the same there and the Settings app won't to same app store one two and I was 10 loaded that one first and II camera one two so that's it for the actual speed portion of this next up I wanted to do some benchmarks and see all of these devices compared to their iOS 10 counterpart how do they do in a geek bench alright guys in here are those scores so this is the 5s the iPhone 6s II the iPhone 6s iphone 7 and 7 plus in general what we can see is an Iowa Selvin does have a lower score in most areas than I was but it's so close such a close call that you really can't say that I was slower based on this alone overall though the multi-core score for iOS 11 seems to be higher it's the single core that's lower in most phones so pretty close all around here I just thought I'd throw in the end to two benchmarks which seem to be all over the place I was 11 in some cases is lower in some cases drastically higher than iOS 10 very interesting all around though on the newer devices it seems iOS 11 is faster here alright guys there it is my ultimate iOS 11 speed test comparing it on all devices what is my conclusion my conclusion is that iowa's 11 in most cases is either the same speed as iOS 10 or a little bit behind in terms of unlock animations if you have our newer device than an iPhone 6s it's gonna be faster it's much better it locks your device with the screen on much faster so overall I would say this is a worthy update to iOS 10 point 3 point 3 Apple has been working on this thing for a very long time this has the record amount of betas before release and it all shows here the only thing my only complaints with it is how buggy it is at the moment there's a lot of visual glitches the rotation landscape bugs are still there for whatever reason Apple still has a long way to go so I would totally recommend if you guys haven't updated yet - just wait until my eleven point one or the future updates come out it will definitely get better because right now you definitely see the optimization isn't fully there and it's still sort of in a beta I guess you could say but from a purely speed standpoint it doesn't make your device that much slower if anything just a little bit not very noticeable in day-to-day life so it is a worthy update to iOS 10 in the speed department stability still has a lot left to be desired so hopefully this video made it a little bit easier for you to decide whether or not i OS 11 is for you on your device thanks for watching guys and if you do update let me know how it goes in the comments down below pasewhat's up guys Iowa's eleven was released today I'm sure a lot of you before updating wanted to see is it faster is it slower how is the performance on my device so that's why I assembled every single iPhone that currently supports iOS 11 right now including the 5s 6 6 s se - 7 + 7 + series just to give you a very solid idea in many areas many tests how I Wis 11 is compared to iOS 10 point three point three so iOS 11 versus iOS 10 is it faster is it slower and overall how is the performance that's what I want to see with this video so let's go ahead and get started alright so I'm gonna start with the three oldest series here so we got the 5s the 6 and the SE now on the Left will be iOS 11 on all of these and on the right I was ten point three point three so I'm gonna go ahead and start them up in three two one and they are off so I expect Iowa's lover to be slower in my earlier tests it was but that was in the earlier versions of Iowa's Levin who knows it could surprise me for some reason this is a really dim screen I noticed that's in Iowa's 11 it does this weird thing where it starts booting up flashes turns on again and there we go so I was 10 did turn on first on the iPhone se series also on the iPhone 6 by a considerable five seconds at least also the 5s Hana I was 10 beat the iPhone 6 and iOS 11 interesting there we go so I was 10-1 on all of these devices by at least five seconds on the older devices on the 5s as you can see that was like a 10 to 15 second difference so quite significant Wow not sure that I would update my 5s to iOS 11 just from this test alone let's move on to the three newer ones all right in the same deal I was 11 on the left ten point three point three on the right and three two one and they are off so this is the 6s series the seven and seven plus on the right I wanted to throw these guys in here because they do have an additional gigabyte of RAM and that might make a difference here there's that bothersome flashing and iOS love and don't even know why it does that wow these guys are quick the seven and seven plus and I was hen put it up first and there goes I owe s11 last on all of them so if you guys are worried about your device starting up a little bit slower for whatever reason I was 11 does slow down the startup of your device maybe because of all the new assets the new features it has to load so yeah that does bother me a little bit but I don't turn my device off too much for it to really matter alright so starting with these slowest devices I wanted to do an unlock animation test and actually just to show up the clock take a look at that it actually takes longer if you want to check your time that's gonna appear in a delay and that's gonna add up I guess throughout the course of your day huh it's a bit annoying alright unlocking in three two one with the screen on Oh both did not respond once again with the screen on one two three ooh I forget it's a first generation touch ID it's slower so Iowa's lovin does unlock a little bit slower check that out and then with the screen off one two three yeah definitely a little bit of a hanging there alright so control center who I was 10 is still a bit sticky Notification Center now the cover sheets pretty much the same we don't really have that bounce anymore let's try the absolute sure one two about the same so not say terrible difference so pretty much the same with the cleared app switcher let's go ahead and open up settings one two three oh wow there is quite a hang on I was 11 and the app switcher 1 2 3 or the app store I mean and did load first cool faster and I was 11 1 2 3 4 the camera iowa's 10 did load that faster considerable amount of delay on iOS 11 and next up with the iPhone 6 screen on touch ID 1 2 3 Oh both about the same there and with the screen off 1 2 3 a little bit of a hang on the iPhone 6 with the lock screen now control center both a bit sticky not sure what that's about alright and the lock screen or cover sheet about the same there app switcher 1 2 a little bit of a hang I was 10 now huh and clear the app switcher into three again it hangs on Iowa's eleven for a considerable amount of time but I haven't been really using Iowa's 11 on this guy often so it may be just because of that and actually opening and closing an app just about the same on both they do have that nice little animation jumping into the App Store one two three and again faster on Iowa's eleven that is nice the new app store is fast and the camera one two three again slower on iOS 11 not liking this trend here alright and the iPhone se series so with the screen on unlocking one two three o massive delay there on Iowa's ten one two three there we go a little bit better the screen off one two three about the same apps which are one two very quick and responsive one two there we go yeah and the Notification Center so it feels pretty much the same to me and clear the app switcher settings one two same no delay on this one App Store - and again loaded just a tad bit faster and I was slow I'm liking that camera one - slower on iOS 11 even on the iPhone se alright and the iPhone 6s from this point on I don't really expect much of a difference from lock screen in three two one both pretty quick this is where I was ten starts to hang notice that the animation is quicker now on iOS 11 and with the screen on one two three definitely faster on Iowa's 11 Wow this is the turning point 6s now control center one two three both pretty much - saying I don't like how sticky this one feels it doesn't have the bounce that Iowa's 10 did and Notification Center one two about the same then again you don't waste time with the bounce like trying to wait for it to finish the animation so I guess Apple thought that through and the app switcher one two and settings one two same App Store one two let's see both a little slow on this one and the camera one two again slower on iOS 11 alright and the iPhone is seven here we go lock screen animation one two three a little bit faster and Iowa's 11 silkscreen on one two three definitely faster wow that is impressive one two three I think that alone is a very compelling reason to update to iOS 11 just because you spend a lot of your time waiting for your device to unlock and if that means a twice as fast unlock on the newer devices by all means update Iowa's love and that is seriously awesome so inside let's try the control center about the same there this one has so much stuff to load though let's try the absolute zero to Oh faster on I was ten on both tries interesting Notification Center well to same stress settings one two about the same app store one two and I was ten loaded that one faster camera one two again iOS ten loads the camera faster let's see if that's consistent though if we clear it out to try it again is it still slower one two nope actually I feel like that was a one-time thing one two I know it is it does have a tiny little delay before opening and the seven plus series with that additional gigabyte of RAM one two three about the same on this one one two three a little bit slower in iOS ten and with the screen on on two three so yeah with the screen on you do get a little bit of a faster animation definitely I'm liking that spectral center bit of a delay just cuz have so many icons on Iowa's love an app switcher one too I was 10 yeah there's a hang for some reason Notification Center about the same there and the Settings app won't to same app store one two and I was 10 loaded that one first and II camera one two so that's it for the actual speed portion of this next up I wanted to do some benchmarks and see all of these devices compared to their iOS 10 counterpart how do they do in a geek bench alright guys in here are those scores so this is the 5s the iPhone 6s II the iPhone 6s iphone 7 and 7 plus in general what we can see is an Iowa Selvin does have a lower score in most areas than I was but it's so close such a close call that you really can't say that I was slower based on this alone overall though the multi-core score for iOS 11 seems to be higher it's the single core that's lower in most phones so pretty close all around here I just thought I'd throw in the end to two benchmarks which seem to be all over the place I was 11 in some cases is lower in some cases drastically higher than iOS 10 very interesting all around though on the newer devices it seems iOS 11 is faster here alright guys there it is my ultimate iOS 11 speed test comparing it on all devices what is my conclusion my conclusion is that iowa's 11 in most cases is either the same speed as iOS 10 or a little bit behind in terms of unlock animations if you have our newer device than an iPhone 6s it's gonna be faster it's much better it locks your device with the screen on much faster so overall I would say this is a worthy update to iOS 10 point 3 point 3 Apple has been working on this thing for a very long time this has the record amount of betas before release and it all shows here the only thing my only complaints with it is how buggy it is at the moment there's a lot of visual glitches the rotation landscape bugs are still there for whatever reason Apple still has a long way to go so I would totally recommend if you guys haven't updated yet -
