Speed ​​test on an iPhone 4s: iOS 8.1.2 vs iOS 8.2 beta 3

iOS 8.2 beta 3 is now available for developers and according to Apple, this new build of the system is still working on improve performance and fix bugs that are present in current versions.

The iPhone 4s is the terminal with iOS 8 that offers the worst performance, something obvious considering that it is the one with the most outdated hardware, however, the owners of this mobile complain of the loss of immediacy compared to the latest version iOS 7. Has Apple managed to improve the Application loading times on an iPhone 4s with iOS 8.2 beta 3?

In the video that heads this post you have two 4 GB iPhone 32s restored with the same backupThey only differ in that the one on the left has iOS 8.1.2 and the one on the right has iOS 8.2 beta 3.

After running some of the applications that come standard on the system, we see how iOS 8.2 beta 3 seems to want to load a little faster, a very insignificant optimization but there it is. There are also cases where the opposite happens and applications seem to load slower than before, therefore there is still work to be done until the desired result is achieved.

Seeing as we are already in the third beta of iOS 8.2, it is clear that owners of an iPhone 4s cannot wait. a miracle when it comes to performance improvement. Every tenth counts to improve the user experience but it seems that Apple will not be able to squeeze more of the hardware of this mobile.

If you are a user of a iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.2, it is recommended that you do not update to iOS 8 to avoid the loss of immediacy of which there are innumerable complaints.

    I think the improvement has been from 8.1.1 to 8.1.2. I saw a video comparing 8.1.1 and 8.2 beta 1 and it had a much more obvious improvement.

    Then 8.1.2 came out and it seems to have matched up quite a bit.

    I think that 8.1,1 that announced improvement in 4S was unsuccessful and they fixed it without much announcement in 8.1.2

    Finally say that I have seen the video between 7.1.2 and 8.2 beta from the same YouTube channel and although there is a difference it is not as dramatic as one imagines. Yes at startup and yes in the AppStore but in the rest it is milli seconds

    This is the crAPPLE that I know, putting LAG in the devices so that you buy a newer one…. My iPod5 flew in iOS6, it also had JAILBREAK and with it functions that we won't even have in iOS10 ... Damn the day that I update to iOS7.

      It is true, Apple does it so that we can buy a new device, My iPhone 4 was super fast with iOS 6, but silly I updated to iOS 7 ...

    iOS 8 is rubbish I have an iPhone 5s and the truth is lagea a lot, when I had it in iOS 7.1.2 I was excited how fast it was going and now it seems that I have an Android phone, Apple does not have to force us to update if We do not want to but it will be counterproductive later it will not sell or chew gum and those who are and ios 7 do not update do not lose anything on the contrary they would lose something good I regret updating to ios 8

    What will it not sell ?? !!!… .Apple loads the oldest mobiles and the not so old thing tells you if you want storage buy the 64GB and it makes you a 5,5-inch screen after selling you the 4 inches and crucify the screens big and did not leave me something? ... and will continue to sell like donuts ...

  6.   but by said

    I also regret having updated (iPhone 5s) I will not buy another one ... enough

    Watching the video and having to do the comparison myself, what strikes me the most is that the difference in battery consumption is negligible. There is a direct proportionality between performance and consumption for the same hardware, and from what we see, the optimization is invaluable.

    I join the criticism that Apple does it intentionally so that older devices do not work, I had a 4S two years ago it came with ios 5 then it went to 6 and then to 7.1.2 and well the best for me is 6, but now with 8.1.2 it is a disaster, if you look at it as well as going slower more ugly, because if before it was not friendly with PC's like Android, it turns out that now with Windows XP it does not even detect it Like a unit that is plugged into the USB port and with Windows 7 it does detect it, but it comes out as normal Internal Storage by clicking there a normal DCMI folder appears and again clicking on that folder a multitude of folders appear photos inside them, with folders without rhyme or reason and the same amount in each folder, some have, for example, 1 photo and another 8, because nothing to look for a photo you have to open folder by folder until you find it. FROM APPLE.
    And another thing it would not be possible to denounce Apple so that it does not force us to put the IOS that they want, and that by law they had to be able to install the one that one wants if they sold it to me with iOS 5 because if I want I will not be able to return to him
    or the one that you like within the ones you provided us, is that we do not own our devices that we pay triple the amount of any other with the same characteristics
