Comparison of Ipod Touch 3G and Iphone 4S

I downloaded the same game on two systems: The Walking Dead Episode 1
The 4S took approximately five more minutes to download, however the battery drained by about only 10% whereas the 3G drained by over 25%.


4S loaded up the game about 10 seconds quicker. Graphically there is no clear difference (aside from resolution) but in terms of performance, while the 4S runs very smoothly, the 3G is extremely unstable and jittery.

I decided that The Walking Dead was not really optimized well to take advantage for each system, so was not the best example. Instead I decided to look at the graphics tech demo Epic Citadel.

4S has a slight superiority, but I don't think anyone was really expecting huge leaps between each numerical iteration of iPhone.
