Before you choose

Consider

Trezor Model OneUSB signing is supported on a computer or compatible Android phone. On iPhone, Suite can show imported accounts but cannot use Model One to sign; passphrases are entered in Suite on the connected computer or phone.

BitBox02 NovaOn iPhone and iPad, Bluetooth carries the data but the wallet still needs a physical power connection. You control it by touching its edges, not the screen. BitBoxApp on iPhone and iPad guides firmware updates when a compatible version is offered.
