Apple’s 2.5-year-old iPhone XR knocks off the new iPhone 12 after the iOS 14.5.1 update in terms of performance.
After launching the iOS 14.5 update, Apple delivered a new security patch, iOS 14.5.1. Users started to like the update and gave some excellent reviews. But, many users complained that the iOS 14.5.1 update has severely degraded the performance score on the iPhone 11, iPhone 12. Which was far better than the iPhone XR.

The iOS 14.5.1 software update is now live and is eligible for iPhones worldwide. The update adds one new feature, the ability to pair your device with AirTag. But this unintentionally seems like a huge performance boost for iPhone XR.
YouTuber Nick Ackermann compared the iPhone 12, iPhone 11, and iPhone XR against each other, operating on the same version of iOS. Because of the newest hardware, it was expected that the iPhone 12 would take the lead. But surprisingly, the iPhone XR managed to beat it in both synthetic and real-world performance.

This performance issue seems to be constant in iPhones. Tests conducted by YouTube Nick Ackerman shows that specification scores are not lying about it either. He tested every feature, from boot and app load speeds to video saving speeds. Ackermann noticed that the iPhone XR swiftly appears to be performing better than the newer iPhone 11 and iPhone 12.

It turned out that in synthetic tests, the iPhone XR outperforms the more modern iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. When tested in multi-core mode in Geekbench, the iPhone XR positively beats its rivals.
From the recent test, it is visible that the complaints are pretty accurate. Hopefully, in the future, Apple will soon release a new update to fix this error. And we will keep you updated.
