Fixed workstation
If a computer is always nearby and tests are occasional, desktop debugging may be enough.
Short answer
HHJ Pro is the most direct option when you do not want to jailbreak the iPhone or keep it connected to a computer. Desktop debugging can still make sense for occasional tests at a fixed workstation.

02 / WHICH FITS
Start with your normal workflow
Frequent location tests
If you move between test locations or need a portable setup, external hardware is more direct.
No system modification
If jailbreaking is not acceptable, compare desktop debugging with HHJ Pro hardware.
03 / LIMITS
Compatible hardware does not mean every app will work
Third-party apps may evaluate network, device, account, or behavioral data. HHJ Pro does not promise to bypass third-party controls.
What should I choose if I do not want a jailbreak or computer?
HHJ Pro is one option. Use the built-in connector that matches the iPhone, then control the test through the HHJ Pro app.
Does HHJ Pro guarantee every third-party app will work?
No. The compatibility list covers the hardware and iPhone model, not every app's detection logic.
How do I restore the real location?
Disconnect the hardware, close the relevant apps, and refresh Location Services. See the complete restore guide.
