Where It Fits
This is best for iPhone users who want a tiny thermal camera for home projects, travel, and quick documentation. It is not the best choice for detailed PCB macro work.
Spec Notes
The 80 x 60 native IR resolution is limited, and the lower refresh rate feels less fluid than 25 Hz cameras. The FLIR advantage is context, app polish, and brand familiarity.
Buyer Caveat
Confirm that your exact iPhone has USB-C support and that your case does not block the connector. Phone modules are easy to buy wrong.
Lab Verdict
The FLIR ONE iOS USB-C is the safest iPhone-connected pick when brand trust and image context matter more than raw native pixels.
