Google's Android operating system accessed the Web more quickly through mobile applications than Apple's iPhone, according to a report from a Canadian software company, but Apple said the test methadology was flawed.
Blaze Software reported that phones running Android’s browser are "Not just a little faster, but a whopping 52 percent faster. Android’s Chrome beat iPhone’s Safari by loading 84 percent of the websites faster, meaning Safari won the race only 16 percent of the time. While we expected to see one of the browsers come out on top, we didn’t expect this gap."
The report also said that despite the optimized JavaScript engines in the latest iPhone & Android versions, browsing speed did not get better. "Both Apple and Google tout great performance improvements, but those seem to be reserved to JavaScript benchmarks and high-complexity apps. If you expect pages to show up faster after an upgrade, you’ll be sorely disappointed," the post added.
