Ian Page has released Mactracker 8.0, introducing a beta feature for syncing your My Models between Macs using iCloud Drive. The update provides detailed information about recent Apple hardware and operating system releases, including the Mac Studio, MacBook Air, and iPad Air. Mactracker 8 also adds color swatches to all models (where available), adds the capability to archive entries in My Models, includes external display support info for the latest iPad models, resolves an issue where incorrect dates could be displayed in My Models, and updates the minimum system requirements to macOS 10.14 Mojave. An 8.0.1 maintenance update addresses an issue that prevented dates from being displayed in My Models. (Free from the Mactracker website or the Mac App Store, 249.6 MB, release notes, macOS 10.14+)
Unfortunately, my Mid-2011 iMac is maxxed out at MacOS 10.13.6 thus I am limited to Mactracker 7.13.5.
However my 2015 MacBook Pro, while maxxed out at MacOS 12.7.6, can run version 8. So I exported My Models from Mactracker 7.13.5 to a flash drive then imported the XML file into Mactracker 8.0.1 on the MBP.
Has Ian Page, the developer of Mactracker, pulled the plug on this project?
I just noticed while researching something in Mactracker that none of the new fall 2025 OSes or iPhones were included. The check for update function reports that 8.0.1 released in June 30, 2025 is the latest. In prior years there have been at least one and as many as four updates in the July to December timeframe.
If he had actually pulled the plug, I would expect to see an announcement. It’s far more likely that he’s just been dealing with some work or personal issues.
