Connection Information Suite 2

Utilities

That "fast" charging cable might just be standard speed. Your expensive external SSD might be throttled by a bad cable. USB Connection Information helps you verify the real performance of your devices USB and lightning connections. STOP GUESSING. START KNOWING. Verify the actual transfer speeds of your connected external drives and estimate the real wattage reaching your battery. Perfect for anyone who's ever wondered "is this cable actually fast?" or "is this charger working properly?" CORE FEATURES - Data Speed Testing: Measure actual read and write speeds of external USB and Lightning drives to ensure your storage isn't bottlenecked. - Charging Speed & Voltage Fingerprinting: Calculate the actual wattage reaching your battery and use unique charging fingerprinting to estimate the specific USB-PD voltage rail (e.g., 5V, 9V, 15V) powering your device. - Charging Curve Logging: Chart your entire charging session to see how power delivery changes as the battery fills. - Device Capability Identification: See the exact maximum data speeds and charging wattage your specific iPhone or iPad model supports. - Detailed Drive Info: View connected volume names, file system formats, and total/available capacities. - Test History: Save and review past test results to compare different drives, cables, and chargers. BUILT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW - Simple, one-tap testing for both data speeds and charging rates. - Intelligent warnings to prevent testing internal storage by mistake or causing excessive drive wear. - Clear visualizations for your connection speed (e.g. USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0). EFFICIENT & PRIVATE Native SwiftUI app with minimal resource usage. Your data never leaves your device: no tracking, no telemetry, and no cloud sync. TECHNICAL NOTE Due to iOS system limitations, charging wattage is estimated by measuring battery percentage changes over time. This represents the actual power reaching the battery rather than the total charger output. For the most accurate results, run charging tests when your battery is between 20% and 50% and screen brightness is low.

Very useful. Sometimes when I connect my iPhone 16 pro max and my Samsung T9 SSD it only shows the slow speed for one of them like 480 so I need to verify using this app and make sure they both show 10 for the speed which is a fast USB 3 speed so if it’s not i just disconnect and reconnect. I use that especially with the great local backup program that backs up the iPhone to the mac called iMazing. It’s like Time Machine for the iPhone. it can do so much.

That is awesome to hear! Verifying the connection speed before running a heavy local backup is a great use case. I'm glad the app helps you catch slow cables quickly. Thank you so much for the kind words!

This app is so simple to use, I love it. I would love to see an option to let it fallback to the icon when no power source is connected, rather than having text saying “Connected/Not Connected” as I’d love to see it only for wattage when connected.

Developer Response
Thank you so much for the kind words and the fantastic review! I'm really glad you're finding the app simple and useful. That's an excellent suggestion for the menu bar display. I completely agree, that would be a much cleaner and more elegant implementation. I have updated the logic in the most recent update that matches your request. Suggestions like this are what help make the app better for everyone!

Do you have a bunch of USB-C power bricks lying around, and you’re not sure which ones will supply enough power to quick charge your MBP? This is the app. Sure, you can look in system information every time you plug something in, but this is faster.

This app is great, it does exactly what it says it’s going to, and does it really well. It sits in the menu bar and provides the info as soon as any USB is plugged in. Doesn’t get in the way, and love that no subscription is required. Totally worth it
