That capability would certainly make the app much more of a tracker. I’m hoping the developer adds the ability to flag models so users can quickly build their own inventory. You can quickly look up the specs and familiarize yourself with the model.

Apple eventually created a 4-year extended warranty program for the troubled keyboard. The problem was compounded by the lack of practical repair options fixing the keyboard requires replacing the device’s entire top case assembly, including the battery and speakers. Apple also completely re-engineered the keyboard, replacing its conventional scissor switches with extremely low-travel “butterfly” switches, which allowed for a thinner device and more stable key presses-but the mechanism proved relatively fragile and unreliable even after several revisions to the hardware, and reactions to the “feel” of the low-travel keys were mixed even when they worked correctly. Function keys were replaced by the Touch Bar, a touch-sensitive OLED strip that dynamically displays various context-dependent controls. ![]() The popular and practical MagSafe charging port was also eliminated.
