The Behavior Scan icon

Behavior Scan is an internal OS X application used by Geniuses at the Genius Bar to detect and test different aspects of iOS devices. This application requires authentication to AppleConnect before it will work. As of iOS 4.1, Apple has also developed an iOS based version of the Behavior Scan app, negating the requirement to visit a Genius Bar to perform diagnostics.

The app accesses the URL https://iphonediags2.apple.com/bscan/login.do upon opening for Apple employees to login and gain access to the application.

Among other things, the app scans and reports the following:

  • Airtime over the last 2 weeks.
  • Total modem resets
  • They had a graph at the bottom counting the total amount of dropped calls by day.
  • Total hours of operation count
  • A total hard reset count
