Speed test using SB for various i-devices
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2018 2:05 am
I have used the following VERY SIMPLE sB program to determine relative speeds between various iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices.
Let me know if you have additional results that are not in my table supplied below.
I have not been able to test iPhone 3G devices or earlier because they don't support iOS versions that support Smart Basic.
Here is the table:
Also, speed tests sometimes vary depending on whether wi-fi is on or off. I can't explain that either.
Of course, for a truly valid test, there should be no other concurrent active tasks on your device.
I haven't tested an iPhone X yet, but I expect that it will be the same as the iphone 8.
Cheers!

Let me know if you have additional results that are not in my table supplied below.
I have not been able to test iPhone 3G devices or earlier because they don't support iOS versions that support Smart Basic.
Code: Select all
mm=1e6
option base 1
SET UNDERGROUND ON
OPTION SCREENLOCK OFF
SET ORIENTATION TOP
SET OUTPUT FONT SIZE 17
again:
time reset
for i=1 to mm
j=i 'two simple assignments
l=i 'in a loop
next i
t=time()
kp=mm/t
tot+=kp
k+=1
print "########":kp;"#######":tot/k;k;t
goto again
' 1e6
/*
runs faster w/ wifi off than on ?
why is there variability?

As noted in the code (and the table), I get some repeatable unexplained variability on some devices, as seen on the "iph4" row. I don't know what causes this significant variability.dev ios sB speed
