Sorry I see that the iPhone was only tested in some of those scores - it's me who was the blind one there.
Other benchmarks put the Note 3 in the lead over the 5s. 3D Mark, Geekbench, AnTuTu...

The iPhone comparison was made for cases where cross platform comparisons could be made. And in all those cases the Note 3 was beaten. Which benchmarks are those? 3D Mark measure GPU performance, which if you read my prior posts, I admit that the Note 3 is superior. Just a quick question did you consider this in your analysis. Note 3’s benchmarking “adjustments” inflate scores by up to 20%
