WCCFTech: Old iPhone is more powerful than new iPad mini with flagship chip
According to WCCFTech, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is more powerful than the iPad mini 7 with the Apple A17 Pro chip.
In the Geekbench 6 test, the new iPad mini 7 scored 2187 points in the single-core test and 6982 points in the multi-core test. At the same time, the results of the iPhone 15 Pro Max are 2932 and 7292 points, respectively. The processor is not powerful - 6 cores and a frequency of 3.78 GHz. However, if we compare the graphics processors, the iPad will be weaker.
Experts believe that the iPad mini 7's test results were affected by iOS 18, a less stable version of the operating system. Meanwhile, the iPhone runs iOS 18.0.1, which has higher performance indicators.
Meanwhile, in Russia, the price of the iPhone 15 has dropped by 50%. Last year, smartphones cost an average of 125-170 thousand rubles, and now the iPhone 15 can be purchased for 60-70 thousand rubles. Moreover, in September of this year, the phone was offered for 80-90 thousand rubles. That is, compared to the original price, the difference is about 50%, and compared to last month's price, the difference is 15-20%.
