Global Top 10 Best Performing iOS Devices, January 2021
As time comes to February 2021, there will
be many points of interest in the mobile phone industry, because many new
products will be released. As the pacesetter in new products to seize the
market share every year, Apple is no exception. However, there is a high
probability that Apple's new phones will be released in March. In this case,
let's first take a look at the performance ranking of those products that Apple
has released before.
Today, we have released the iOS Device
Performance Ranking List in January 2021 according to the data collected from
the backstage of Antutu, which is almost still in a stable state because of no
release of new iOS products, except for little change.
It should be noted that the data in this
ranking list was calculated based on the iOS Antutu V8 and collected for a
period from January 1 to January 31, 2021, with the results in the ranking list
being average scores instead of the highest scores, which are more
representative.
No. 1: iPad Pro 3 (12.9-inch)
Average score: 728,253
The iPad Pro 3 (12.9-inch), which ranked
third last month, became No. 1 in one fell swoop. As the largest iPad product equipped
with Apple A12X processor, of course, there is no need to say much about its
performance. Even in the current Apple Store, it can be difficult for you to
find an App that it is hard to run. This time, its average score is over 9,000
points higher than that in December 2020, which proves its strength once again
and also shows that the gap between A12X and A12Z processors is actually very
small.
No. 2: iPad Pro 4 (12.9-inch)
Average score: 719,476
Since the No.1 product has changed, iPad
Pro 4 (12.9-inch), the product that ranked No.1 last month, can only rank No. 2
this time. In January 2021, its average score was 719,476, which was actually
higher than the average score of 719,226 last month. However, the score of the
No. 1 iPad Pro 3 (12.9-inch) improved too much, compared with 9,000 points, the
growth of several hundred points is naturally unmatched.
No. 3: iPad Pro 4 (11-inch)
Average score: 713,177
IPad Pro 4 (11-inch) became No. 3 this
time, with an average score of 713,177, which was several hundred points higher
than 712,663 last month. However, because the score of No. 1 iPad Pro 3
(12.9-inch) was too high this time, the No. 2 product last month was also
pushed to No. 3 this time.
All the above three products are powered by
Apple A12 series processors, including A12X and A12Z respectively. However the
final results are not entirely processor-based, as the experience also depends
on the real usage and the results are only for reference.
The following seven products are: iPad Pro
3 (11-inch) (average score: 692,443), iPad Air 4 (average score: 650,153),
iPhone 12 Pro Max (average score: 648,573), iPhone 12 Mini (average score: 620,690),
iPhone 12 Pro (average score: 614,074), iPhone 12 (average score: 613,737), and
iPhone 11 Pro Max (average score: 533,154).
Among the last seven products, except the
last iPhone 11 Pro Max, which is equipped with Apple's A13 processor, all other
products are equipped with Apple's latest processor A14.
With the 5nm-process-based technology and
6-core CPU design, the CPU performance of A14 is improved by 40% compared with that
of A12 processor; with the 4-core GPU design, the GPU performance of A14 is
improved by 30% compared with that of A12 processor. Besides, A14 Bionic is
also equipped with the new 16-core Neural Engine, with which the number of
cores is doubled compared with the previous generation and up to 11 trillion
operations per second can be processed. Therefore, the machine learning
performance using this processor has been improved in a groundbreaking way.
In the first monthly iOS performance
ranking list in 2021, except for the No. 1 iPad Pro 3 (12.9-inch) and the No. 5
iPad Air 4, which have changed their rankings compared with last month, all other
products are still stable in their own rankings, indicating that iOS products
are so reassuring.
