Whoops! iPhone 7 Plus gets tested a whole day before reveal

The iPhone 7 Plus appears to have passed through Geekbench, giving us a rough idea of its performance potential.
We may already have access to benchmark test results for the iPhone 7 Plus, a whole day before the phone has launched. A results listing on the Geekbench 4 platform shows the phone having scored a 3,379 single-core score and a 5,495 multi-core score.
For the unaware, Geekbench is a benchmark tool that tests a smartphone to see how powerful it is. There are lots of different tools, and Geekbench is just one brand among many.
It’s also worth noting that the iPhone 7 Plus has passed through Geekbench previously, earning scores that were around 10% lower than these new results. But the original scores were achieved on Geekbench 3, so they can’t really be compared to the Geekbench 4 readout.
Nevertheless, all scores are high across the board, which suggests that the iPhone 7 Plus will be pretty powerful – no surprise there, eh?
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus at a launch event in San Francisco tomorrow, at 18:00 UK time. The Californian tech giant is also likely to show off the long-awaited Apple Watch 2, so stay tuned for live coverage from TrustedReviews on Wednesday evening.
