Speed Test: “3G iPhone” vs the Current iPhone
Applicando recently posted a speed test video between a mock “3G iPhone” and the current EDGE iPhone. Both phones are downloading the same page at the same time. The mock “3G iPhone” is simulated by sharing the same Wifi internet connection of an iMac, which was connected to the internet via HSDPA using a Huawei E172 HSPDA modem. The “3G iPhone” is on the left and the current EDGE iPhone is on the right. The “3G iPhone” loads the same page as the EDGE iPhone in 16 seconds, and the EDGE iPhone takes 30 seconds. That’s a big difference, almost cutting the download time in half.
