iPhone 12 vs iPhone 11 SPEED Test - NO Difference!? By Brandon Butch

What's up guys, my name is Brandon, and today we're going to be doing a speed test between last year's iPhone 11 and the all-new iPhone 12. So, as I usually do in these videos, we're going to be testing out the app launching speeds web browsing speeds, I'm going to do a LTE versus 5g speed test, we're going to be comparing the gaming on both devices and, more, so before we get into the speed test. Let's go ahead and lay out the specs for both devices. So we can see what we're working with so over here on the left, we're going to have the iPhone 11, which has the a13 bionic chip and 4 gigabytes of ram. Then over here on the right. We have the iPhone 12 with the a14 bionic chip and also four gigabytes of ram.

Now I do also want to mention that this speed test is strictly for entertainment purposes. Obviously, your results are going to vary because everybody uses their device differently on a daily basis. So I'm going to be testing out the speed in my way of doing it, but that may not reflect you know exactly how you use your device on a day-to-day basis. So I have to say that, because sometimes I get some crazy comments of people. You know refuting and disagreeing with the way I'm running this speed test and saying it's not realistic.

So obviously it's not realistic, so anyways, let's go ahead and boot these down, and I will be doing a boot up test here as well to see which device will boot up faster all right, so both devices are fully shut down, and now we're going to do a boot up test we're going to press the side button at the exact same time in three two one pressing and holding on both at the exact same time. Here, let's see if we get an Apple logo first, so we got the Apple logo first, on the iPhone 11 over here, and you can see this is the backs of them right here. So I don't know why. But in these speed tests the older one usually wins, which is really strange, but we may see a difference here: okay, so the iPhone 12 one by quite a few seconds, of course right when I said that you see the difference there so about maybe a five-second difference there in the boot up speeds, which is pretty interesting. Now I don't think, there's going to be a face ID difference in the speed and things like that, but I will go ahead and test that, so it looks like the iPhone 12 might be slightly faster at unlocking via face ID, but really, really close.

I mean pretty much no difference at all and that time it actually looked like the iPhone 11 was first so in real world scenarios you are not going to notice a difference in face ID speeds going from the 11 to the 12. All right. So now, let's go ahead and close out of all the applications here, and we're going to get into the app launching test all right. So all applications are closed, as you can see right there, and we're going to start off with some simple social media applications like twitter in three two one press. At the same time there it looks like it was a tie.

I really did not see any difference at all right there. So let's go ahead and see if we go to a tweet here, so we're going to see if the share sheet opens up first on one or the other, and it looked like the exact same there. Let's go ahead and go over here and go to share via and see if one pops up before the other and that looked very close as well, really no difference at all. Let's go ahead and open in safari see if there's a difference there, and it looks like the iPhone 11 actually loaded, that up before the iPhone 12. So that's pretty interesting.

Let's see, if anything has changed there on that share sheet. No, so iPhone 11 actually opened that tweet in safari first for some reason, so let's go ahead and try out Instagram press at the same time there, and it looks like the iPhone 12 very close, though the iPhone 12 loaded up everything first, but that was very close. We got the content first on the iPhone 12. It looked like it was going to be much faster at the beginning, but it ended up being pretty close. Let's go into YouTube, see if there's a difference on youtube here and pretty much exactly the same.

The preview started there on the iPhone 12 first, but not a big deal. Let's go into Reddit again press at the same time and looks like the iPhone 11 once again wins with opening up Reddit right there and actually loading in all the content as well. Let's go ahead over and try out the podcasts' application, and that looked like it was the iPhone 11. Maybe the iPhone 12 didn't load in all the content, but it looks like some things are a little different in here as well, but nonetheless looks like the iPhone 11 may have won that one there let's go into spotify is first on the iPhone 12. Let's go into Amazon and Amazon, also, first on the iPhone 12 by a few seconds there let's go into suffusion.

This is a more heavy application and that was first on the iPhone 12. All right. So it seems like a pretty split, even tie right now, so let's go ahead into the games, because this is where we will definitely start seeing some differences from the 11 to the 12. So, let's start off with something simple like subway surfers press at the exact same time there, let's see if we get any type of difference, and it looks like the iPhone 12- is loading up. First, yes, the iPhone 12 by a couple of seconds there with subway surfers, let's go into plants, vs zombies, again press at the exact same time here, and it looks like the iPhone 12 is slightly in the lead.

So, even with the game center pop-up there, it was first and with the loading bar, it looks like the iPhone 12 is also going to win here and so yeah. The iPhone 12 won with plans for zombies over the iPhone 11 as well. Let's go into Call of Duty mobile. We are logged into two different accounts here, so this should be a pretty even battle here. So Call of Duty mobile is a pretty intensive, pretty heavy game as well.

We are loading right now. Both are fully up-to-date. Have all the updates downloaded and everything, so it should be very even iPhone 12 and iPhone 11 are both. I mean it's pretty much neck to neck right now, neck and neck right here, but the iPhone 12 looks like it's pulling ahead now, once it reached about that 50 marker there so iPhone 12 with gaming, looks like you will see an improvement this year over last year's iPhone 11 as expected and yeah. So by a couple of seconds.

Actually, it's going on even further than that, so maybe close to five seconds difference there with Call of Duty mobile, which is quite impressive for just a one year, chip difference. Let's go on to PUBG mobile, again press at the exact same time there. This is another heavy intensive application, and it's looking like the iPhone 12 is slightly in the lead here as well. Again, nothing major! That's why I wanted to put the disclaimer at the beginning of this video, because obviously real world usage you're, probably not going to tell a major difference between these two, but I just wanted to see. If there really is.

You know that big of a difference at all- and this is pretty much showing that there's not a huge difference, although the iPhone 12 is definitely faster for most of these applications. So now, let's jump back into suffusion and export this video in 4k and see if we have any difference in exporting 4k video, so we're going to go ahead and do this. As you can see, we have the same at 4k, 30fps settings for both devices, and it's the exact same video same length and everything 7 minutes, 15 seconds and 20 milliseconds, and we are exporting at the exact same time here and let's see if there is a difference in the export speeds for a 4k video using the suffusion application, fully updated and, of course, both these devices are also on 14.1, not sure if I mentioned that earlier, but both are on the exact same firmware. Everything about these devices is exactly the same all right. So there we go.

You can see that the iPhone 12 is going to export this video faster by a few seconds here over the iPhone 11. Maybe a five-second difference there. Nothing too major, but I do want to note that the iPhone 11 did get hotter throughout that export process versus the iPhone 12. The iPhone 12 did not get hot at all, did not even get warm, but the iPhone 11 did get a little on the warmer side, and I did also just run through a ram test and both devices did not reload any application so that four gigabytes of ram seems to be solid because none of the applications that I opened before had to relaunch. When I opened them again, they were all stored in that memory.

All right. So now we're going to run a quick 5g versus LTE speed test. So I do have 5g on right here. I just put my sim card into the iPhone 12. We're going to go ahead into the speed test application and see if we get any type of difference from LTE to 5g all right.

So let's go ahead and start the speed test. You can even see down at the bottom. It does say 5g confirming that we are using a 5g network here, so you can see we're getting about less than 50 on the download. I'm not super close to a 5g tower or anything like that. So I'm not going to get any type of major speed improvements with 5g here and most of you guys, probably I'd say.90 of you are also not going to notice a huge bump in speed with 5g unless you are in a huge city, and you're just really close to a tower. But you can see here we got a 51.6 on the download. Let's see what we get on the upload, the uploads looking pretty weak.

There so looks like less than two on the upload, so those are the results on the iPhone 12 using 5g, so a 51.6 versus a 1.62. Now, let's test out the iPhone 11 using LTE, I'm going to swap my sim card and put it in there and see how these speeds compare. So we are on LTE on the iPhone 11 now, so, let's go ahead and see how these speeds compare on 5g versus regular LTE here on the iPhone 11 and take a look at that. So we got a higher download on LTE and a higher upload as well, so a much higher upload on LTE versus 5g and a slightly higher download as well on LTE versus 5g. So this aligns with exactly what I talked about in my first things: to do, video on the iPhone 12, where I explained 5g, and if you haven't watched that that is linked up in the cards and down in the description below.

But basically 5g is going to be better for bringing LTE to everybody. And you know improving LTE coverage versus you know: improved speeds because of 5g. So anyways, not too surprising here to see the LTE is faster than 5g, because that's probably going to be the case for most of you guys unless you are just right near a 5g tower. So there you have it guys. That is a speed test between the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 12.

So if you guys are looking to buy an iPhone 11 or an iPhone 12 strictly for performance?s sake, I would go with the iPhone 11, because you will save some money and get pretty much. The exact same performance and plus 5g is not there yet. So that should not be. You know something you buy an iPhone 4 in 2020. And, of course, if you have an iPhone 11 now it is definitely not worth upgrading to the iPhone 12, in my opinion, so yeah, let me know what you guys think about this speed test in the comments below it was a pretty, I wouldn't say, boring, but a pretty expected speed test, a very minimal difference, I'm pretty sure most of you guys predicted that from the start, so really not too much going on nothing too surprising.

However, my next speed test will be very interesting, so definitely stay tuned to that you will not want to miss that that is also coming on the same day. I upload this. So if you want to see that video, and you're watching this now check it out up in the cards and down in the description below but anyways guys, thanks again for watching, and I'll see you soon, you.
