📊 Test Setup
The iPhone 8 has a total of 6 threads (CPU cores).
We tested mining with different thread counts:
- 🧵 1 Thread
- 🧵🧵 2 Threads
- 🧵🧵🧵 3 Threads
- 🧵🧵🧵🧵 4 Threads
- 🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵 5 Threads
- 🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵 6 Threads
🧠 Observations & Conclusion
✅ Conclusion: Web mining on iPhone is best limited to 1 or 2 threads.
Why?
- 🐢 Minimal performance gain when using more threads — mining speed doesn't increase significantly.
- 🔥 Phone heats up a lot when using 4+ threads, which could lead to:
- 🔋 Faster battery degradation
- ⚠️ Possible hardware stress
💡 iPhone 8 is not designed for heavy continuous tasks like crypto mining, especially via browser.
🚫 Final Thoughts
Web mining on mobile devices is possible, but not practical long-term.
Stick to 1–2 threads if you're experimenting, and always monitor temperature to avoid damage!
