Comparison

Compare two Apple devices across categories and drill into individual specs.

Comparison: pick two devices, then expand categories to compare attributes.

Overview​

Comparison is a built-in reference tool. It uses Lirum's device database to compare two devices side-by-side (for example, display specs, CPU, camera features, and more).

Table Of Contents​

Selecting Devices​

At the top of the screen, you'll see two device selectors (left and right). Tap either side to open the device picker.

Device picker: select the left device.
After selecting the left device, repeat for the right side.
Device picker: select the right device.
After selecting both devices, expand categories to compare.

Browsing Categories​

Categories are shown as a vertical list. Tap a category header to expand/collapse it.

The tool shows a loading overlay while preparing comparison data.
Expanded category showing multiple attribute rows.

Understanding Comparison Rows​

Each attribute row shows values for the left and right devices:

  • Numeric attributes show two progress bars (one per device) plus an optional "X% more" label when one value is higher.
  • Boolean attributes show Yes/No pills.
  • Text attributes show the two values side-by-side.

Tap any row to open the detail view for that attribute.

Attribute Detail View​

The detail view includes:

  • The two selected devices and their values for the attribute.
  • A visual indicator of which device is higher (for numeric attributes).
  • A list of all devices in the database for that attribute.
  • Sorting options (Value, Name, Release Date).

Use the search field to filter what's shown (for example, categories or attributes).

Notes And Limitations​

  • Comparison data comes from Lirum's built-in database. It is not a live hardware scan.
  • Availability can vary by platform. For example, the Comparison tool may be unavailable on Mac Catalyst builds.
