iOS Device Performance Ranking, October 2020: How Powerful Is iPhone 12?

The much-anticipatediPhone 12 series was released last month, a month later than that in previousyears due to COVID-19. However, it did come, and as of today, the first two newmodels, namely, iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro have been delivered to most buyers,so they made a successful appearance on the iOS device performance ranking listin October 2020.

Today, Antutureleased our list of the global Top 10 best performing iOS devices in October2020 according to the statistic data at our backstage. This time the rankinglist has changed because of the entry of two new iPhones into the list. As the editor,I have always been calm with the ranking list, this time I finally got excited.So what are the rankings of these two new models? Let’s move on.

It should be notedthat figures in this ranking list were calculated based on the iOS version of AntutuV8 and collected for a period from October 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020. Theresults in the ranking list are average scores instead of the highest scores,and thus more representative.

No.1: iPad Pro 4(12.9-inch)

Average score:717,203

The iPad Pro 4(12.9-inch), the most powerful iPad Pro in Apple’s mobile product family, hasfirmly ranked in the first place for a quarter in a row. Its bigger screen,higher refresh rate and higher hardware configuration are all factors that canaffect the score. So even though iPhone 12 and iPad Air4 that adopt A14processor have been released and obtained scores, they were still defeated byiPad Pro 4 (12.9-inch).

No.2: iPad Pro 3(12.9-inch)

Average score:716,819

With the iPad Pro 4(12.9-inch) at the top of the list, it is no wonder that its predecessor camein the second place. The biggest difference between the two devices is that theiPad Pro 4 (12.9-inch) is powered by A12Z processor, while the iPad Pro 3(12.9-inch) is powered by A12X processor. In terms of the comprehensive score,the difference between the two is very small. More specifically, it’s just thatthe 3D score and the UX score of iPad Pro 4 (12.9-inch) are a little higher,which cannot be felt in actual use.

No.3: iPad Pro 4(11-inch)

Average score:710,327

There have alwaysbeen more iPad products on iOS praise ranking list. This time, came in thethird place is also a product of iPad Pro: iPad Pro 4 (11-inch), which, thesame as iPad Pro 4 (12.9-inch) ranking first, is carrying A12Z processor, withtheir whole configuration broadly similar. The only difference lies in screensize, which is the product of the market segment. So those who want to buy iPadPro 4, can make their choices based on their needs for screen size..

With the top three announced,neither iPhone 12 nor iPhone 12 Pro appears on the list, which means that theycan only be placed in the bottom seven.

The following 7products are: iPad Pro 3 (11-inch) with a comprehensive score of 683,053, iPad Air 4 with a comprehensive score of626,148, iPhone 12 Pro with an average score of 574,155, iPhone 12 Prowith an average score of 573,719, iPhone 11 Pro Max with an average score of 524,343, iPhone 11 Pro with an average score of521,797 and iPhone 11 with an average score of 501,223.

Newly released iPadAir4, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 firmly ranked the 5th, 6th and 7th in thisranking list. All three are powered by Apple’s latest A14 processor, and thereis no doubt about its performance. iPad Air4, due to its larger screen size andhigher configuration, has a higher average score than the iPhone series,which is a normal phenomenon.

However, iPhone 12Pro and iPhone 12 outdistanced iPhone 11 series, which looks very strong. Itcan be seen that the average score of iPhone 12 with low-levelconfiguration is higher than that of iPhone 11 Pro Max with top-levelconfiguration ever. Therefore, each generation will surpass the preceding oneand this is indeed an eternal truth.

Next up are theiPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max that can be ordered this week. Will iPhone12 mini rival the previous iPhone 11? Will iPhone 12 Pro Max beat iPad Air4with larger screens? We’ll find out next month.
