Apple calls foul on web browser speed test

lmao im not even going to say anything, but this is just like there GPU benchmark VS the tegra 2 when the only think they beat the tegra in is OpenGL with is a Java based application that does not really test the hardware. but yet thats the only test there putting out saying there better than the tegra but im 4 other tests the tegra craps all over it and im not talk winning buy 10% i mean 30%-50%. but im every site that says there A5 is better only shows that one test LMAO. oh and btw the test is Linkpack that they keep showing. and they have the litest Tablet right the samsung 10.1 tablet is lighter

As far as I’m concerned the test is valid. If the Safari browser behaves differentely depending on how its used then it’s an issue Apple has to fix.

They may not have used the “actual” Safari browser which in and of itself is misleading but if you get hacked by Pwn2own in 5 secs, you FAILED miserably… regardless of how fast you say it is.

What I find funny is Apple takes less than a half a day to respond, on a test that doesn’t really matter. Yet thousands upon thousands of iPhone owners complain of reception issues, Apple takes a month or more to respond. I’m not talking about the iPhone 4, the 3G had issues as well.

Just a thought on ‘doesn’t take advantage of Safari’s web performance optimizations’; could that mean lack of Flash support on all Safari versions? I do think, however, that these results are already outdated. Has anyone out there already tried out the web browser on the ThunderBolt; I’m sure the Safari browser is a good 7-10 seconds behind the Android stock browser on the ThunderBolt!!!

I say: redo the study with the ThunderBolt for more accurate results.

So what they are sayin is that its still slower… sorry fanboys

Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris. “Despite this fundamental testing flaw, they still only found an average of a second difference in loading Web pages.”

so Apple boast about “2x faster than previous…” for things like JavaScript, their processors in mobile devices, and other technologies, but when the competition is faster it means noting valuable?

right, Apple, your JavaScript Nitro engine is 2x faster than the last revision, for the ~15% of an average webpage that uses JavaScript, saving less than a second from pageload times and hence worthless too ?

Of course do you really think Droid (for robots not people according to all commercials) can whoop iOS? I mean there are like 50 proud devices competing with the iPhone 4 hahaha

The real question is “which phone browser performed better on Flash sites?” oh. wait…..

What a flaming idiot!

Using the same app on different platforms as a platform test is an unfair test? In the science biz, it is what we call a control variable. And since Blaze’s business is performance optimizations, it is a pretty good control variable.

You tell em Apple!

Big whip I called bs on it right away.

in other words, the browser test “failed” because it wasn’t written to take advantage of apple’s turbo engine.

what about all the other websites that aren’t coded with apple’s enhanced java script? they would be just as slow.

steve jobs does have a lot of clout. but until he forces every web developer to recode their websites using their own enhanced javascript, i will take the independant results from the native browser – sans plugins, enhancements, etc.

The test is invalid. They did not get close enough to Stevo and so the test was not factoring in the awesomenesses of the RDF.
