Independent, and we show our working.

Device facts come from Apple’s published tech specs, with the source and the date we checked shown on every device page. Product specs come from each maker’s own page. We never show Amazon prices, star ratings or reviews, and we don’t claim to have tested anything we haven’t. How we check compatibility.
