Apple A8: test, caractéristiques et prix

(Old review, scroll down for new review) I've had an iPhone 6 with this chipset and it has been quite great to use back then, but this is a 2022 user review, so I'll keep it at that. The basics are slightly sluggish but work such as calling, FaceTiming and texting, and also offer a slight challenge for thermals, I do remember also using maps and it being decently sluggish. it also becomes slightly warm to the touch after a decent amount of usage. Gaming is out of the question as most games don't run (soul knight for example, fails to run and it's not very intensive for a game). perhaps very light games would run decently on a8 devices (unsure about iPad mini 4 with its slightly boosted a8 with 2 gigabytes of ram). Overall, this chip offers decent performance but is now disadvantaged due to it's age. Update: I have had to use my iPhone 6 again as a backup due to the destruction of my iPhone SE 3rd generation ;-;. and I am very impressed with how well it has held up. I take back a bit of what I said as the A8 because it is still pretty snappy and quick on iOS 12.5.5. I use it for music, youtube, web browsing, maps, calls and FaceTime and it does all this surprisingly well. Slightly demanding games are still out of the question (asphalt 8 plays well but burns battery and turns my phone into a personal stove). Battery life is still…. Eh (my phone battery is in good condition) but definitely holds it charge if it isn’t on all the time. I am so impressed by what this 2014 phone can do thanks to the A8 chip. Its not far from sluggish but Its no slouch either. A champion of a phone, i might not even replace my main phone because i’m so impressed by this phone. I might stick with this until i can afford the new SE again. iPhone 6 has a special place in my heart. (Just my personal experience) P.S: Please don’t buy this phone if you’re looking for cheap alternatives, too old and unsupported by apple. There are much better options available from apple (second hand or low range) or some cheap new androids like the Samsung A line.

I’m using a iPhone 6 for 1 week beacause I want to do some benchmarks with it.the processor can handle some small games and even some big games like free fire.the problem of it is that I heats so quick and it uses too much energy and battery goes low by only 1 hour gaming.It doesn’t heat only on games,but also watching YouTube in 720p (that heats the phone slowly and the battery in about 4 hours) and 1080p (that heats the phone in 20 minutes and the battery in 3 hours)

My dad’s old iPhone 6 plus because he’s messaging to everyone.
