Interesting. I forgot how fast the newest iPhones are. 7 seconds on the Xs.

Just performed several trials on my OnePlus 6T. It took 4, 14, 1, 1, 5, 3, 8, 4, 19, and 24 seconds for an average of 8.3 seconds over 10 trials. That's more than comparable to the time it takes me to solve one of Google's monstrosities.

It's not even the newest iPhones: my iPhone SE beat an Intel Celeron N3060 @ 1.60 GHz almost every time.

Tried on my Blackberry Keyone just to see, and it was well under a minute. Timed it after refreshing the page, and even my 2017 mid-range is under 10 seconds.

Granted, Google Apps are disabled, so it may have been one less thing eating up CPU cycles in the background that made others so slow?
