About This Site
Hi, welcome! This is the archive for Apple vintage treasures and modern gadgets.
The motivation for creating this site actually came from a friend's passion for collecting Apple products, especially those milestone, classic, and discontinued devices. To make querying and organizing more convenient, the idea of building this database was born.
To be honest, I am not a hardcore Apple fan myself. The site holds a large amount of data maintained entirely in my spare time, so some omissions are inevitable—especially for older products where information might be incomplete or inaccurate.
So, if you find anything incorrect, missing, or if you have more accurate information, please, PLEASE let me know! Your feedback is EXTREMELY important to me. (You can email me directly; I'm do my best to reply to all!)
Currently, maintaining the site is a solo effort with limited energy, so updates and fixes might be delayed... My apologies in advance! I appreciate your understanding and tolerance.
This site is a personal non-profit project. All expenses, from domains to servers, are borne by me personally. To ensure a pure browsing experience, and due to personal preference, no ads of any form will be displayed.
Of course, this also means it relies purely on my personal enthusiasm to continue. Honestly, I'm not sure how long this passion will last—maybe I'll still be updating enthusiastically in a few years, or maybe I'll gradually slow down.
In short, I hope this little database can help you. The data is for reference only, especially for "vintage" devices; cross-checking is advised. Just have fun exploring and querying!
Thanks for stopping by, and special thanks to everyone willing to help supplement and correct! ✨

53 donorsNotice on Compatibility Adjustments for Older Browsers
- To pursue better aesthetics and rendering performance, this update removed a lot of compatibility redundant code for older browsers. In the past, limited by strict minimum font-size restrictions (12px) in some older browsers, to achieve responsive scaling for smaller fonts, initialization required heavy calculations and adding separate scale attributes to numerous tags, dragging down rendering performance immensely.
Therefore, future updates will no longer provide "perfect" visual compatibility for extremely outdated browsers (mainly targeting old versions before Chrome/Edge 118 and Safari 14; surely no one leaves their browser un-updated for 5 or 6 years, right? ,,Ծ‸Ծ,,).
Please rest assured, all subsequent updates will still guarantee basic access for older browsers (backward compatible down to Chrome 64). We will ensure all core content is completely readable, absolutely preventing blocking or total rendering crashes due to errors. However, on older browsers with outdated engines, minor visual imperfections like pushed layouts or tightly packed text might occur. For the ultimate experience, using the latest version of a modern browser is advised.
Changelog
Archived by version. Logs are written casually. Minor fixes might not be recorded.- FeatAdded quick filter chips across device pages (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Mac desktop, Apple Watch, AirPods All, Apple TV, Display, HomePod, AirPort All, Power Adapters) — one-click filtering by size, unlock method, display type, port, chip architecture, etc., with URL parameter persistence
- FeatAdded "Integrated Cable" and "Detachable Cable" filters to the Power Adapters page, distinguishing MagSafe integrated designs from USB-A/USB-C detachable designs
- FeatAdded "Radar Chart Compare": in compare mode (2-4 devices), click the "Radar" button in the toolbar to open an ECharts radar chart modal with 6 customized dimensions per device type (iPhone/iPad: Performance/Screen/Battery/Camera/Storage/Connectivity; MacBook: Performance/RAM/Storage/Screen/Battery Life/Portability; Apple Watch: Health/Fitness/Screen/Battery/Connectivity/Portability), each dimension normalized to 0-100 based on the product line's max value, with light/dark theme support
- FeatAdded "Bar Chart Compare": in compare mode, click the "Bar Chart" button to open an ECharts horizontal bar chart modal, supporting 15 numeric fields (CPU cores/frequency, RAM, storage, screen size, PPI, brightness, battery capacity/life, weight, thickness, resolution, sensors) with one bar per device
- FeatAdded "Device Similarity": in compare mode, each device card shows the average similarity percentage with other compared devices (weighted Euclidean distance + Jaccard similarity, with fields weighted by importance: chip > screen > battery > others); hover the similarity badge to see Top 3 similar device recommendations
- FeatThe two visualization buttons "Radar" and "Bar Chart" in the toolbar are hidden by default and only show in compare mode (2+ devices), simplifying the toolbar in non-comparison scenarios
- FixFixed tooltip overlap in compare mode where the favorite tooltip and similarity badge tooltip showed simultaneously; hovering the similarity badge now automatically hides the favorite tooltip, showing only the "Similar Devices Top 3" tooltip; the similarity tooltip z-index is raised to 10001 to ensure visual coverage
- FixFixed bar chart CPU cores showing 100+ (chip array with multiple configs was summing all): now takes the max single config and prefers extracting from chip name; Fixed radar chart inverse dimensions (e.g. portability) normalizing to 0 being misleading: tooltip now shows raw values, missing data marked as 'No data'; Fixed radar legend overlapping with chart when wrapping to two rows: radar center moved up and radius reduced; Bar chart gradient corrected to left-transparent → right-solid with rounded corners; Storage ≥1024GB now displays as TB; Radar/Bar chart compare now limited to iPhone/iPad/MacBook pages only
- FixFixed M5-series chip CPU frequency showing 0: M5 chips use a new super.core field (replacing performance.core); frequency extraction now handles both structures and takes the maximum; Bar chart compare now limited to max 10 models with a user prompt when exceeded
- FeatAdded spec-evolution milestone markers to the Timeline page: on top of the existing first-generation markers, 200+ trend milestone models are now highlighted across all product lines (iPhone/iPad/MacBook/iMac/Mac mini/Mac Pro/Macintosh/iPod/Apple Watch/AirPods/Apple TV/Display). Each card shows the milestone reason inline and in the tooltip; first-generation models keep the more prominent solid badge + tinted background, while trend milestones use a lighter outlined badge + subtle border to distinguish; the top stat counter now includes both types
- FeatAdded small-screen adaptation for the Trend page device switcher: automatically switches to a dropdown selector when screen width is ≤1024px to prevent button overflow
- FeatAdded device switcher (iPhone / iPad) to the Trend page — toggle placed beside the main title, extensible for more device lines in the future
- FeatAdded spec evolution data for a dozen+ Apple product lineups to the Trend page, with hundreds of milestone models highlighted, spanning 1984-2026
- FeatGlobal search now supports space-separated multi-keyword matching — only devices matching all keywords are returned, with synchronized highlight
- FeatAdded "Timeline" page (/timeline) as a top-level route at the bottom of the menu: an ECharts overview chart on top supports click-to-jump and drag-to-zoom, device cards grouped by year below, with a bold axis on the left and milestone models highlighted; supports product-line filtering and keyword search
- FeatHover a timeline card to view full parameter details (chip / memory / display / model IDs / colors, etc.); click a card to jump to the corresponding model comparison table with auto-scroll and row highlighting
- FeatAdded "Share Compare" feature — in compare mode, click the share button to generate a share link (with QR code and copy-to-clipboard); opening the link automatically restores the same device comparison state
- FeatAdded "Spec Evolution Trend" page (/trend) — a line chart showing the generational evolution of key iPhone specs (battery / storage / main camera / RAM / screen / PPI), with 6 field switchers and linear/log scale toggle
- FeatTrend curve auto-marks spec new-high models (upper-limit progression); hovering a node shows all same-date models; bottom milestone card list displays foundational models (Original / 3G / 4 / 5 / 6 Plus / SE / X / 12 / 15 / Air / Pro Max / Ultra) with milestone reasons
- FeatAdded "Diff" mode — when comparing 2-4 devices, one click highlights all columns with differences while identical columns are dimmed for instant visual comparison
- FeatAdded "Diff Only" toggle within diff mode — hides all identical columns and keeps only the differing ones plus the model column to focus on key differences
- FeatDiff mode enforces a 2-4 device limit — the button is disabled with a tooltip when exceeded, preventing narrow columns and readability issues
- FeatSpecial thanks to 【Fiona.】 for the feature concepts and technical support
- FeatAdded command palette global search (⌘ + K / Ctrl + K) with fuzzy matching across model, chip, category, identifier and other fields
- FeatAdded device favorites — star any model row to bookmark it, view the list from the sidebar "Favorites" entry, click to jump and scroll to the corresponding model
- PerfRefactored virtual scroll rendering pipeline with viewport-visibility-adaptive task scheduling, automatically reclaiming rendering resources for off-screen areas — first paint reduced by ~40%
- PerfScheduled non-critical tasks (analytics, environment init, data warmup) during idle periods, halving long task count
- FeatSpecial thanks to 【Fiona.】 for the feature concepts and technical support behind the search and favorites features
- FeatAdded 6 preset zoom levels (75% / 90% / 100% / 110% / 125% / 150%) to the zoom modal, and enabled the "Remember zoom level" option — once checked, the page will load with the saved zoom preference next visit
- FixFixed a layout issue in the zoom modal where the reset button squeezed the "Remember zoom level" label onto a new line
- FeatAdded "Battery Capacity" and "Charging Specs" columns to all Apple Watch models, covering battery type, mAh capacity, endurance, charging method, cycle count, etc.
