Why let me install it if I can’t run the benchmark?

I’m not frustrated that I can’t run the benchmark I’m frustrated that it even let me install it. I spent like 10 minutes waiting for it to finish installing just to be told my device (an iPhone 13 mini) isn’t compatible with the benchmark. What’s even worse is the benchmark I could run was already installed with the other 3dmark app, so I waited 10 minutes just to be told to go back to the app I already had installed. Can you put a hardware restriction or something to prevent this from happening?

Auf iPhone 14 Pro Max nicht nutzbar.

Bist jetzt leider nicht kompatibel. Man solle lieber auf Wildlife ausweichen heißt es.
