iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone 12 Pro Max

Looking to possibly get an iPhone for making music, and have been comparing the 8 Plus to the latest model, the 12 Pro Max.

Benchmarks numbers on the 12 are roughly 4 times 2 times that of the 8 (depending on where you look), I’m just not sure what that means for music making.

Is the older 8 Plus going to struggle in any way? I know some synths and synth patches can be heavy on the CPU, I’ll probably mostly use Nanostudio 2 and Cubasis.

Just wondering if anyone has an idea of what the comparison is like. Thanks in advance for any insight.

    If you want 3D Touch for GeoShred you will need to go for the 8 Plus

    I went from an 8 plus to a 12, so not exactly what you are asking....but I wouldn’t miss the 12 in any way if I went back. I’ve never gotten used to the wasted/weird space issues in the curved corners and around the dumb notch. Hats off to developers who just ignore those “features” and make a rectangular interface. I have more weird glitches and crashes on the 12-nothing major, but the 8 plus never gave any trouble at all. And as mentioned 3D Touch was useful as is the home button now that masks are a thing. It is nice though how much quicker some apps load on the 12.

    Oh and the floating app switcher bar that hovers over your keyboards and such is super annoying.

    Mostly wondering about performance, with music making apps, not so much features.

    No synth comparison, but some info:
