FoxPeek is a device configuration analysis and testing utility designed for iOS users. Import a sysdiagnose or Analytics file to organize and review device information, generate clear configuration or battery analysis reports, and use Toolbox to test the display, storage, and memory of the device you are currently using. Whether you want to learn more about your device, review information about its display, battery, cameras, storage, and memory, or check its display and performance, FoxPeek turns complex diagnostic data into clear and accessible results. 1. Device Configuration Analysis Import a supported diagnostic file to view the device model, iOS version, storage capacity, memory information, storage information, and other configuration details. 2. Component Information Review key information about the display, battery, cameras, storage, memory, and other components, organized into easy-to-read categories. 3. Battery Health Analysis Import an Analytics file to review battery information such as cycle count, battery capacity, and battery health, helping you better understand the battery’s current condition. 4. Toolbox All tests and benchmarks in Toolbox are performed on the device you are currently using: - Display Test: Use different solid-color screens to help identify dead pixels, bright pixels, and display irregularities - Storage Benchmark: Measure the device’s sequential storage read and write speeds - Memory Benchmark: Measure the device’s memory read, write, and copy speeds 5. Local Reports Generate device configuration and battery analysis reports, and save them to your history for convenient viewing, comparison, and management. 6. Clear, Organized Results FoxPeek organizes complex diagnostic information into an easy-to-understand interface, reducing the time required to search through raw files. The interface is optimized for both iPhone and iPad, including landscape use. FoxPeek is useful if you want to: - Learn more about your iOS device’s configuration - Review information about the display, battery, cameras, storage, and memory - Check battery cycle count, capacity, and health - Test the display of the device you are currently using - Measure the device’s storage and memory performance - Organize device information into a clear report - Find key information in sysdiagnose or Analytics files more easily FoxPeek takes your privacy and data security seriously. Imported sysdiagnose and Analytics files, along with generated reports, are processed and stored locally on your device by default. Toolbox tests and benchmarks are also performed on the current device. Unless you choose to share content, send feedback, or use a feature that requires network access, FoxPeek does not upload the original diagnostic files or locally stored reports. Configuration analysis, device testing, and benchmark results provided by FoxPeek are for reference only. Results may vary depending on the iOS version, device model, file contents, data completeness, device temperature, and current operating conditions. FoxPeek is not an official Apple tool, and its results do not represent an official Apple diagnostic assessment.

Whence lays open where the devices around you actually come from — what you are connected to, and what you are holding. ■ Looking outward: what your Wi-Fi actually is • Reads the BSSID of the access point you're on and resolves the manufacturer from the IEEE registry • When the BSSID is a locally administered address, it says so — such addresses do not identify a real manufacturer. The three possible causes are shown side by side rather than picking one for you. ■ Looking inward: what this iPhone is made of • Core split, native resolution and refresh rate, per-lens camera parameters, sensors and radios, storage and power — all measured directly • Model specifications from a bundled catalog, cross-checked against what was measured, with the result shown either way ■ Every value is labeled with where it came from Measured, catalog, inferred, unavailable — four distinct provenance levels. Anything inferred is visually de-emphasized and carries an explanation. You can see at a glance what was actually read. ■ We say plainly what cannot be read Battery health, cycle count, and the real suppliers of the display and battery are not available to third-party apps on iOS. This app tells you it cannot read them, rather than leaving a blank or filling in an estimate. Any app claiming to detect these directly on an iPhone is not telling you the truth. ■ Privacy • Makes no network requests at all — not merely no external ones. All manufacturer and model data ships inside the app. • Collects nothing, uploads nothing. • Declares exactly one permission: location. It is used solely to satisfy iOS's precondition for reading Wi-Fi information — no coordinates are requested, stored, or transmitted.
