Test and compare the performance of the latest iPhones and iPads with this free and easy-to-use benchmarking app. 3DMark Solar Bay Extreme is a ray-traced gaming benchmark, designed to test the graphics performance of high-end iPhones and iPads. 3DMark Steel Nomad Light is our heaviest non-raytracing benchmark for iOS. Steel Nomad Light lets you compare the performance of the latest iPhones and iPads in heavy gaming workloads. Run 3DMark Solar Bay to compare the latest iOS devices that support gaming with real-time ray tracing. Ray tracing is a new technology in games that is used to produce far more realistic lighting. It has three sections with increasingly higher ray tracing workloads, helping you understand how enabling ray tracing will affect your device’s gaming performance. 3DMark Wild Life is a cross-platform benchmarking app for comparing the performance of the latest smartphones and tablets. Use 3DMark Wild Life Extreme to test and compare the latest iPhones and iPads as well as Apple Mac computers with the M1 chip. Or run the original Wild Life benchmark to test older iPhone and iPad models. 3DMark Steel Nomad Light, Solar Bay, Wild Life, and Wild Life Extreme offer two ways to test your device: a quick benchmark that tests instant performance and a longer stress test that shows how your device performs under longer periods of heavy load. 3DMark benchmarks measure GPU performance by rendering a demanding game-like scene in real-time. The faster the scene runs, the higher your benchmark score.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AIDA64 at 4.6 against 3DMark's 4.0. AIDA64 also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 86). 3DMark's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AIDA64 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 3DMark asks for nothing beyond the download.
AIDA64 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AIDA64 has 2.3K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of AIDA64's written reviews are positive against 53% of 3DMark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AIDA64 ships an update every 3 months, 3DMark every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
