Video: iPhone 5 Vs. iPhone 4S Side-By-Side Performance Tests


Want to see exactly how the iPhone 5’s speedy new A6 processor compares to the now-somewhat-pokey iPhone 4S A5 chip? I shot a side-by-side comparison shot of the two devices executing a number of tasks, including simple stuff like opening webpages and Facebook, to more processor intensive tasks like exporting a 1o second 1080p HD video in iMovie. Check it out, the iPhone 5 seems to edge the older phone in just about every area, but to varying degrees. The iPhone 4S is the white one on the left, by the way, and the iPhone 5 is in black on the right.
