AnTuTu Benchmark for iPhone

I’ve been tossing around the idea of upgrading my iPhone, and honestly, I just wanted to know if mine still holds up. I didn’t want some vague “your phone is fine” message - I wanted numbers. That’s why I downloaded AnTuTu Benchmark for iPhone. It’s not flashy, but it gets the job done in under a minute. You tap start, let it run through CPU, GPU, memory, and screen tests, and boom - you’ve got a score. Not super detailed, but enough to compare against other devices or even older benchmarks from the same phone.

The good stuff

What surprised me was how fast it actually ran the full test. I wasn’t expecting it to finish in under 90 seconds, especially on an older model. The results were clean and easy to read - no confusing charts or jargon. Just a total score and breakdowns by component. I used it to check my iPhone 12 against my friend’s iPhone 14, and the gap was real. His was about 30% higher across the board, which made sense given the hardware difference. And yeah, it lets you tweak settings for more consistent results - useful if you're testing multiple times. It’s not the most polished app, but it does what it says without overcomplicating things.

The not-so-good

It’s definitely barebones. No history tracking, no way to save scores or export data. If you want to monitor your phone’s performance over time, this isn’t the tool. Also, the interface feels a little dated - like it hasn’t been updated since iOS 13. And with zero info on the developer or license, it’s a bit sketchy to trust blindly. There’s also no mention of updates or support, which makes me wonder how long it’ll stay functional. Plus, it’s not free - I had to pay $1.99 to unlock the full version, which feels steep for what it does. If you’re just poking around once, the free trial might be enough, but if you’re serious about benchmarking, you’ll probably want something more robust.

Bottom line

If you’re curious about your iPhone’s actual performance and don’t mind paying a few bucks for a simple, straightforward test, AnTuTu Benchmark for iPhone is okay. But if you want features, history, or a cleaner experience, there are better options out there. Stick with it only if you need a quick snapshot - otherwise, skip it.
