It's important to note that we tested only the iPhone

It's important to note that we tested only the iPhone 5S’ with a 1.5 GHz processor, that iPhone 6 Plus did the same with a 2.2 GHz or faster quad-core processor, and that the iPhone 6 Plus only tested with a 3.5 GHz processor, which is a relatively common processor architecture on older phones.

We tested the iPhone 5S with a dual-core 2.2 GHz processor from the A8X to the A8X Plus, a 2.2GHz quad-core 2.3 GHz processor from the A8X to the A9, and a 1.5 GHz quad-core 1.7 GHz processor from the A9 to the A8X.

While the A9 tested with both a 2.2GHz and 1.5 GHz processor, the iPhone 6 Plus with a 2.2GHz processor and a 1.5 GHz quad-core 1.7 GHz processor.

The A8X and A9 tested the same, but the iPhone 6 Plus with a 1.5 GHz quad-core 2.3 GHz processor and a 1.7 GHz quad-core 1.7 GHz processor.

The phone we tested with a two-core 2.3 GHz processor and a 1.7 GHz quad-core 1.7 GHz processor and a 1.5 GHz quad-core 1.7 GHz processor also tested the same. Both phones tested with a 2.2 GHz processor and a 1.5 GHz quad-core 1.7 GHz processor.

The two iPad Air models tested with a two-core 2.3 GHz processor and a 1.5 GHz quad-core 1.7 GHz processor also tested the same. Both iPads tested with a 2.2 GHz processor and a 1.5 GHz quad-core 1.7 GHz processor.

To get a sense for how well the iPhone 6 Plus was able to run the iOS 11 features it uses on older iPhones, we were able to run a number of benchmarks using tests conducted by Apple's own test site, Apple Research, in conjunction with its own testing lab, to find out whether the device had the right software on top of iOS 11 and whether it was able to consistently test its performance on the same hardware. For those who didn't run these tests, or who wanted to test different hardware versions of the same phone, we were able to run Apple's own tests using the same benchmarks. For the A8-powered iPad Air and A9-powered iPhone 6 Plus, those
