Tablet

We do not recommend any device that is called a “Lite” version.
Advantages:
- With a larger screen than a phone you get the same portability at a cheaper price point.
- Wifi connected
Disadvantages:
- 2 handed operation
- If not in a case with a screen protector, it can be broken easier
- Camera can be sometimes under-powered compared to a phone.
Phone
Phone Requirements:
- Android OS14 or later
- Apple iPhone running Apple iOS 16 or later
Advantages:
The smaller size of a phone as compared to a tablet is one of the biggest benefits to a technician. It gives better maneuverability in engine bays, under cars and in extremely small spaces with one handed operation.
Use case for phones: Personal phones with the Android OS version 14 or Apple iOS version 17 can be used. If a shop wants to use dedicated devices we recommend 3rd generation iPhone SE. These phones have the power needed at a much lower price point due to their age. These dedicated devices do not need to have a sim card as long as they are attached to the shops wifi.
Disadvantages:
- Can easily be lost or stolen
- Personal cell phones have login access from anywhere
