iCheckup helps you evaluate a used iPhone or iPad before buying or selling. The app guides you through checks for device details, display, cameras, audio, sensors, battery, connectivity, and ownership status. iCheckup uses only public iOS and iPadOS APIs, and it clearly explains what can be assessed automatically and what is not available to third-party apps. Reports stay on the device unless you choose to share them. iCheckup is not an Apple assessment, does not determine the origin of Apple parts, and does not access non-public Apple diagnostic information.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Phone Diagnostics at none against iCheckup's 1. Phone Diagnostics also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). iCheckup's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
