| This might be a dumb question. But I have done all my Matterport tours using an iPhone. What’s the benefit of (outside of the obvious screen size difference) to scanning them on an iPad? |

| I use the Apple Pencil to mark my windows, mirrors and to make trims on the iPad. The pencil won’t work with the iPhone. Much easier. | ||

| Depending on the model I would guess it affects scanning speed and size of space you're capable of scanning. I would assume your iPad has more RAM than your iPhone and will perform better, but check your devices specs. Whichever has a newer processer and more RAM is going to be your better choice. Here's a good article to reference with some helpful charts. https://support.matterport.com/s/article/Mobile-Device-Performance-Factors?language=en_US |

| I have an iPhone 13 Pro and I recently bought a 1TB iPad Pro (2021 with M1 and 16GB ram) so I could have the extra RAM. I also needed a second device so I can scan and do data collection at the same time. I don’t usually go over 300 scans but there was absolutely no difference in scanning speed using the iPad with a Pro3. If you are going way above 300 scans your phone might slow down some. |
