Why doesn’t AnTuTu use Apple?
In recent years, the smartphone performance testing tool AnTuTu has become one of the important standards for measuring device performance. However, many users found that Apple devices were almost absent from AnTuTu’s test results. Why is this? This article will analyze this phenomenon from multiple perspectives such as technology, market, and Apple’s own strategies, and attach data on hot topics and hot content in the past 10 days.
1. Technical reasons: architectural differences
Apple's A-series chips use ARM architecture, but there are significant differences in chip design from Android devices. AnTuTu's testing standards are mainly aimed at optimizing the hardware and software of Android devices, while Apple's iOS system is highly closed, making it difficult for AnTuTu to directly adapt. The following is the hot topic data about chip performance in the past 10 days:
| topic | heat index | Discussion platform |
|---|---|---|
| Apple A16 chip performance | 95,000 | Weibo, Zhihu |
| Android flagship chip comparison | 87,000 | Station B, Tieba |
| AnTuTu Benchmark Controversy | 76,000 | Toutiao, Hupu |
2. Market Strategy: Apple’s Closed Ecosystem
Apple has always adhered to a closed ecosystem, and performance testing of iOS devices is usually completed by Apple's official or third-party professional tools (such as Geekbench). As a third-party testing tool, AnTuTu is difficult to obtain official support from Apple. The following are popular discussions about Apple’s ecosystem in the past 10 days:
| topic | heat index | Discussion platform |
|---|---|---|
| iOS 16 system optimization | 89,000 | Weibo, Douban |
| Controversy over Apple’s ecological closure | 78,000 | Zhihu, Tieba |
| Third-party testing tool adaptation | 65,000 | Headlines, Station B |
3. User needs: Benchmarking is not the focus of Apple users
Apple users pay more attention to actual usage experience rather than benchmark data. The performance optimization of Apple devices is more reflected in system fluency and application response speed, rather than simply running scores. The following is the data on users’ attitude towards running scores in the past 10 days:
| User attitude | Proportion | Main point |
|---|---|---|
| Scores are not important | 62% | Pay more attention to actual experience |
| Running scores have certain reference value | 28% | but not a decisive factor |
| Running scores are very important | 10% | Mainly used for equipment comparison |
4. Limitations of AnTuTu
AnTuTu's test projects mainly focus on the hardware characteristics of Android devices, such as multi-core scheduling, GPU rendering, etc. The hardware and software optimization methods of Apple devices are completely different from Android. Therefore, AnTuTu’s test results cannot fully reflect the real performance of Apple devices.
5. Summary
There are many reasons why AnTuTu does not compete with Apple, including technical differences, market strategies, and user needs. The performance evaluation of Apple devices is more suitable to be completed through professional tools and actual experience, rather than relying on testing tools optimized for Android such as AnTuTu. In the future, with the continuous development of technology, more cross-platform performance testing tools may appear, but the current "insulation" status between AnTuTu and Apple will continue.
The above is an analysis of hot topics and hot content in the past 10 days. I hope it can help everyone better understand this phenomenon.
