Mactracker app celebrates 25th anniversary, iPhone and iPad versions scheduled for major update with new features

Mactracker has long been a great Mac app for tracking nearly every Apple hardware and software release ever. How long exactly? 25 years.

To celebrate this big anniversary, Mactracker for iPhone and iPad is releasing a big new release this week with some useful new features.

The new Mactracker 5 update is the latest version of the reference app for iPhone and iPad.

“Mactracker 5 introduces Compare features to highlight differences between devices, My Models feature to track details of your Apple collection, and UI and performance improvements,” developer Ian Page announced this week.

The new comparison tool for iPhone and iPad looks especially useful.

This is very similar to the hardware comparison feature on Apple’s website, except Mactracker allows you to do things like compare the iPhone 17 Pro Max to the original iPhone.

Here are the full release notes for Mactracker 5:

• Add iPhone Air MagSafe battery
• Added comparison feature to highlight differences between models
• Added “My Models” feature to track details of Apple collections
• Added support for iCloud Drive to sync “My Models” across all devices
• Added overview to view insights about the “My Models” collection
• Added option to record the physical state of entries in “My Models”
• Numerous user interface and performance improvements
• Startup chime now sounds even in silent mode
• Add latest OS release details
• Other minor changes and additions

Mactracker 5 for iPhone and iPad is free to download from the App Store. Mactracker for Mac is also available for free as a direct download or through the Mac App Store.
