Apple iPhone XR benchmarks show near identical performance to the iPhone XS

Benchmarks are not the be-all and end-all for determining if a phone is worth your time. But it does set some expectations. And all signs point to a positive experience with the more affordable iPhone XR. Packing the same A12 Bionic chip as the iPhone XS, it’s expected the performance was going to be similar. Macworld just shared the benchmark results and it shows that it gets the same performance but from last year’s iPhone X. It even tops the GPU test, which most likely comes from the fewer pixels the phone has to push. It’s also supposedly said to have better battery performance, even when compared to the iPhone 7 Plus (which has roughly the same display size and exact same battery).
