Blaze Software conducted a study recently comparing the local browser speeds of top players from Apple’s iOS and the Android OS of Google. And guess what, the results are showing that Android was amazingly 52% faster than the iOS’ performance. This was based from over 45,000 test conducted by Blaze Software. But wait till’ what Apple has to say about the obviously negative result. Apple has recently branded the study foul and a hoax. Apple argued that Blaze Software was unfair when it didn’t used Apple’s more optimized Safari web browser on the iPhone. An Apple spokesperson said, “Their testing is flawed because they didn’t actually test the Safari web browser on the iPhone. Instead they only tested their own proprietary app which uses an embedded web viewer that doesn’t take advantage of Safari’s web performance optimizations. Despite this fundamental testing flaw, they still only found an average of a second difference in loading web pages.” Apple could be right because Blaze Software used the UIWebView framework in an embedded web viewer and apparently it doesn’t utilized Apple’s very own Nitro JavaScript engine of the Safari browser. We are still waiting for Blaze Software’s response regarding Apple’s statement. Source
