Apple announced iOS 15 with a lot of new features at the WWDC 2021 event. Shortly after the event, Apple released iOS 15 Beta 1 to developers. Although Apple didn’t promise any performance jumps with iOS 15, how does iOS 15 Beta 1 fare against iOS 14 in a speed test? iOS 15 supports iPhone 6s too. So are there any significant performance issues on the older generation devices?
YouTuber iAppleBytes conducted an in-depth speed test between iPhone running the latest iOS 14.6 stable version and iOS 15 Beta 1. The YouTuber conducted the speed test on a bunch of iPhones, including the six-year-old iPhone 6s and the five-year-old iPhone SE, and more. Interestingly, iOS 15 beta 1 performs more or less the same as iOS 14.6 on the older generation devices too.
As we can see in the speed test video above, iOS 15 beta 1 has some bugs due to which iOS 14.6 was slightly faster in some cases. For example, iOS 14.6 booted up faster than iOS 15 beta 1 in the speed test. In some cases like loading websites, iOS 15 beta 1 was faster than iOS 14.6.
