Apple iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro appear on AnTuTu, fail to impress

Posted: 14 Oct 2020 10:20 PM PDT

Apple introduced its iPhone 12 lineup earlier this week, and the vanilla iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro are already being prepared for pre-order before next week's market arrival.

Both iPhone 12 devices are powered by the A14 Bionic, which is the first 5nm chipset, but the raw numbers reveal rather disappointing results when compared to the Snapdragon 865 chip by Qualcomm, used by most Android flagships.

Posted: 14 Oct 2020 07:50 PM PDT

Posted: 14 Oct 2020 03:46 PM PDT

OnePlus made the new 8T official earlier today, and Zack from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel has already put it through the paces of his trademark durability test.
