GeekBench 4 CPU Benchmarks Up After 11.2.5

GeekBench 4 CPU benchmark results are up noticeably (5% to a little under 10%) on my iPhone 7 since the 11.2.5 update. Has anyone else seen speed improvements after the update?

Sometimes I noticed drop of frames when going from safari to the home screen. Regarding GeekBench 4 I notice the same, sometimes goes up, sometimes go down as in iOS 11.2.2, not to much change here, battery seems better, but the mail apps is not pulling emails from the server neither deleting them. I'm waiting to see other reports on battery, the only reason for me to continue with iOS 11.2.5 is the battery, otherwise I will be downgrading to iOS 11.2.2 by Monday before apple stops signing the firmware.

Haven't noticed any battery change, but I only upgraded yesterday, so not much data/observation yet.

I recently got an iPad 12 W adapter to charge my 7 Plus faster - because it takes a really long time if you’re trying to charge the phone while using it with the lowly 5 W - and I noticed something funny. Geekbench multiscore results are consistently around 5% lower when it’s connected to the 12 W than they are connected to the 5 W or not at all.

Now, 5% is barely anything and wouldn’t be the least bit noticeable in day-to-day use (unlike those poor folks getting throttled by up to 50%), but I was struck by just how consistent and repeatable the difference was. It wouldn’t matter whether the phone was charging or not and would happen even if the device was quite cool.

Why would the iPad charger make the slightest difference to Geekbench results? If anything I thought the reverse might’ve happened. So bizarre.

My benchmarks with Geekbench 4 are slower however within margin of error. There are variables that are difficult to account for however with the iPhone 6S the results speak for themselves.

I’ve always noticed my Geekbench scores are higher when not connected to a power source also on my iPhone 7. This also includes my smart battery case. Scores are a titch higher only once the smart battery case is fully depleted and the phone is draining from its main battery.

iPhone X after 8 hours during night time, the battery shows 99% on iOS 11.2.5. The only thing that I'm noting now is some problem with airdrop, I don't know if is my MacBook or the phone... Safari is very snappy with the help of Crystal ad blocker.
