  • Device: model, chip, GPU, memory, display, cameras, sensors, Face ID or Touch ID and more, grouped, with every value explained at a tap
  • Compare your device with other models of its kind, row by row - including the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max

  • Speed and latency test with a progress bar and the current rate, and the devices on your local network (System Guard Pro)
