“An alleged Apple iPhone 6s prototype has been spotted on the GeekBench database by Chinese website MyDrivers,” Babu Mohan reports for VR-ZONE.
“Featuring a tri-core Apple A9 chipset and 2GB of RAM, the device managed to post scores higher than almost all flagship smartphones in the market currently,” Mohan reports. “While the iPhone 6 Plus manages to score around 3,000 in [the multi-core test], the iPhone 6s prototype managed to score a very impressive 4,577.”
Mohan reports, “This score is also higher than most Android flagship smartphones out there, with the exception of the Exynos 7420 powered Samsung flagship devices.”

MacDailyNews Take: For reference, the top Geekbench score for an Android phone is currently 4378 by the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge which is powered by the 8-core Samsung Exynos 7420 1500 MHz. The just-unveiled Galaxy Note5 scores 4,399 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+ scores 4,947 in Geekbench’s multi-core test.
As always, these benchmarks measure very specific things. What matter most is real-life usage where we fully expect A9-powered iPhone to excel smashingly, easily outperforming all others, as per usual with Apple A-series iPhones because only Apple designs the hardware and the operating system, both of which are world-class:
