Speed comparison iPhone 3GS and 4?

Hi,

I am developing a game using Air 2.7 but I only have an iPad 1 to test it on. The speed is really good (a steady 60fps) but I'm a bit curious how fast it will run on 3GS.

Have you guys done any speed comparisons between iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4?

I guess the speed on iPhone 4 is about the same as iPad 1? 

Thanks,

/Andreas

I have tested the same vector animations on iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPhone 3GS. If you have selected to use high resolution, the performance on the 3GS and iPhone4 will be similar, because the iPhone 4 will have to update four times the screen area of the 3GS. The iPad 2 may be slightly faster, and I guess you may be right about the iPad 1 being similar to the iPhone 4. If you use standard resolution, the iPhone 4 may be the fastest of them all.

Thanks Colin,

I just tested the game on a friend's 3GS and I was surprised how fast it was, moving at the same 60 fps as on the iPad.

Cheers,
