Mactracker has long been a terrific Mac app for keeping track of pretty much every Apple hardware and software release ever. Exactly how long? 25 years, in fact.
To help celebrate the big anniversary, Mactracker for iPhone and iPad has a big new release out this week that includes useful new features.
The new Mactracker 5 update is the latest version of the reference app for iPhone and iPad.
“Mactracker 5 introduces Compare to highlight differences between devices, My Models to track details about your Apple collection, plus UI and performance improvements,” developer Ian Page announced this week.
The new Compare tool on iPhone and iPad looks especially useful.
It works a lot like the hardware comparison feature on Apple’s website, except you can do things like compare iPhone 17 Pro Max to the original iPhone in Mactracker.
Here are the full release notes for Mactracker 5:
- Adds iPhone Air MagSafe Battery

- Adds “My Models” functionality to track details about your Apple collection
