PassMark Software, the leader in PC benchmarks, now brings you benchmarks for mobile devices. Fast, easy to use, mobile device speed testing and benchmarking. PassMark PerformanceTest™ Mobile allows you to objectively benchmark a mobile device using a variety of different speed tests.

*Find out if your device is performing at its best.
*View past results online at http://www.iphonebenchmark.net.
*Measure the effect of configuration changes and upgrades.
*Make objective independent measurements on which to base your purchasing decision.

Seventeen standard benchmark tests are available in five test suites!

Test Suites:
*CPU Tests - Mathematical operations, compression, encryption and more 
*Disk Tests - Reading and writing files to internal storage
*Memory Tests - Read and Write tests
*2D Graphics Tests - Simple & Complex Vectors and image rendering and filters tests
*3D Graphics Tests - Simple bouncing ball test, a more complex scenes, and a Space Battle Test using Unity.

## Key features

- CPU speed tests
- Disk read/write tests

### 1/5 — Crashes on iOS 18

*2024-09-25, version 11.0.1000*

Crashes after the graphics tests on iOS 18. App looks old and seems to not have been updated for a while. Shame.

### 2/5 — Please fix the auto-rotate orientation bug

*2023-02-28, version 10.0.1000*

Whenever I finish a benchmark, my phone will be in portrait orientation, however, the white home bar will be on the left of the screen as if my phone is in landscape. My status bar is also hidden as if I were in landscape as well. I have tried this while my auto-rotate is on and off and still get the same bug. Rotating the device doesn’t work either. Also tried restarted my device and uninstalling and reinstalling as well on my iPhone 13 Pro

### 3/5 — Too Easy

*2022-11-10, version 10.0.1000*

1. My phone model was reported incorrectly (iPhone 13 Pro but showed as 14,2?) 

2. Tests aren’t strenuous enough. The 3D tests were all at the limited 60FPS and never dipped

### 5/5 — Stopped working. Crashes on iPhone 12 iOS 15.5

*2022-07-07, version 10.0.1000*

Needs to be updated but otherwise a great app

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-08-19, version 10.0.1000*

It’s an iPhone on an A12 shouldn’t be crashing. No issues with other benchmarks

### 3/5 — Does not run or complete all tests with older IOS versions

*2021-04-16, version 10.0.1000*

I had installed this app some time ago, and worked perfectly across different versions of IOS (even as old as IOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone 4). 
It is interesting comparing results from different iPhones. 
However, I tried running it today and found that it crashes on IOS7.1.2 (same device I had used before). 
Also, when trying to run on iPhones 5D and 6Plus, the benchmark does not continue when the graphics tests are due (this is on IOS 12.5.2 on both devices). The same issue happened with an iPhone 6S (IOS 14.4.2)
It only completed all tests on an iPhone 7plus with IOS 14.4.2.

### 5/5 — I like it.

*2021-03-12, version 10.0.1000*

This is really good for seeing the raw performance of your device and it’s interesting to see how the numbers change based on the temperature of the processor.

### 5/5 — Needs fixing.

*2021-01-29, version 2.2.3*

Some of the tests don’t show or the app crashes. I think you need to update for newer iOS or devices or both or just fix the crashes when doing some tests.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing on an 11 pro max

*2021-01-03, version 2.2.3*

Whenever it gets to 2d SIMPLE testing it crashes losing all data... otherwise it does what it says

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-11-15, version 2.2.3*

Crashes during 2D testing on iPhone 12 mini

PerformanceTest Mobile V10 for iOS (yes, we skipped some version numbers...) has been updated to run the same CPU tests as the desktop PerformanceTest V10 software. The CPU Rating* (i.e. CPU Mark) can now be used to compare directly with other CPUs on https://www.cpubenchmark.net website.

*Note: ONLY CPU Tests are comparable to other versions of PerformanceTest. Work on porting other test suites is ongoing.

### 2.2.3 — 2020-11-14

Updated native tests to use minstd_rand instead of rand to standardize tests with other PerformanceTest platforms releases.

### 2.2.2 — 2020-07-26

Addressed items from Xcode code analyzer (fixed bugs and possible object leaks).

### 2.2.1 — 2020-04-22

Changed CPU Tests to use a longer test duration to exert the all cores for more consistent results.
