"iq3 image quality improved compared to iq+. but customer service / warranty is unreliable.",
"IQ3 image quality blows the IQ+ and other US probes out of the water.",
"Forced upgrade to IQ3 and it's pretty handy! Much smaller than original butterfly and application is way better now!",
"The iQ3 has superior data transfer rate, 2x faster processing power, user-centric ergonomics and configurable buttons.",
"Comparable imaging resolution to competitors; excellent cardiac images but footprint can make some cardiac views harder to optimize."
