Changelog

Sep 10, 2026

Better book recommendations

  • Added Take Control of Siri AI and Apple Intelligence. It leads the recommendations on Apple Intelligence and Siri searches, and sits just behind the system book on the iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 pages.
  • Recommendations are now ranked and capped instead of listing every match: the title written for that release or device comes first, then whichever book covers the most of what is on the page, with newer editions winning ties.
  • Fixed a long-standing mismatch where iPhone and iPad titles surfaced on Mac pages. A book tied to particular systems now appears only on those systems.

The Surprise and Shine lineup

  • Added the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max (both ship September 18) and the iPhone Duo (October 23). All three run the new A20 Pro and are flagged Beta until they actually ship.
  • The iPhone Duo is Apple’s first folding iPhone, and it brings three firsts to the database: a Foldable Display (7.6-inch inner, 5.4-inch outer), an Under-Display Camera, and the return of Touch ID—built into the side button, with no Face ID at all.
  • iPhone 18 Pro introduces a Variable Aperture main camera, a mechanical iris that moves between f/1.48 and f/4.
  • Both ship with 12GB of memory, so both join the advanced Apple Intelligence tier that unlocks expressive Siri voices and advanced dictation.
  • Their N1 wireless chip makes them Thread devices—which surfaced a gap: the entire iPhone 17 line has carried a Thread radio since 2025 and is now tagged for it too.
  • The 27-series releases now carry their confirmed release date of September 14, 2026.
  • Also from the same event: Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, both on the new S11 chip, plus AirPods 5. All ship September 18.
  • AirPods 5 brings Active Noise Cancellation to the entry-level AirPods, so ANC is now tracked as a feature and backfilled across the AirPods Pro line, AirPods Max, and the ANC model of AirPods 4. The genealogy traces it back to the AirPods Pro of 2019.
  • Linked the new Take Control titles: Take Control of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, and Take Control of Golden Gate. They now appear on the matching OS release pages alongside the features they cover.
Sep 2, 2026

OS 27 update: CarPlay, and the release run-up

  • CarPlay is now tracked as its own category, with the iOS 27 additions: video apps on the dashboard (parked only), a persistent Now Playing MiniPlayer, audio scrubbing, route sharing so the car can weigh a route against its remaining range and suggest a charging stop, and Siri AI in CarPlay (iPhone 15 Pro and later).
  • Photos gained keywords you can add to pictures and videos, and search on (iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27).
  • Corrected Siri AI on Apple Watch: it runs through a paired Apple Intelligence iPhone rather than the watch itself.
  • Re-checked the 27-series device support now that it is confirmed—iOS 27 stays at iPhone 11 and later, and watchOS 27 drops the Series 6, 7, and 8, the SE (2nd generation), and the original Ultra. Both already matched our data.
  • The 27 releases are still marked Beta: Apple has said only “fall,” and will announce exact dates at its September 9 event.

New Apple Intelligence page

  • A dedicated Apple Intelligence tab: which devices qualify (the earliest model in each line), the base (8GB RAM) vs advanced (12GB) hardware tiers, and every Apple Intelligence and Siri AI feature with the OS release that introduced it.
  • Siri AI now notes its hardware requirement—Apple Intelligence (A17 Pro/M1 or later, 8GB)—wherever it appears, and added Adaptive Power and a Battery & Power category.
  • Added the 12 GB “advanced” Apple Intelligence tier as a tracked feature—the devices that meet it (iPhone Air/17 Pro/Pro Max, M5 iPad Pro, M4/M5 Macs) plus a new Advanced Dictation feature—so expressive Siri voices and advanced dictation now show their memory requirement.
Jul 22, 2026

OS 27 second public beta: new features tracked

  • Adjustable Liquid Glass—a Settings slider that sets the interface anywhere from clear to fully tinted—added to iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.
  • Siri Voice Personalization (pace and expressivity sliders) on iOS 27, limited to iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max, American voices first.
  • The Home app can now update an Apple TV 4K remotely, the way it already does for HomePod (iOS 27 and iPadOS 27).
Jul 10, 2026

Apple TV and HomePod, plus Thread and Matter

  • Added the Apple TV line (Apple TV HD through Apple TV 4K 3rd generation) and HomePod (original, mini, and 2nd generation).
  • New smart-home connectivity: Thread (HomePod mini, HomePod 2nd gen, and Apple TV 4K 2nd/3rd gen) and Matter (every Apple TV and HomePod home hub—iPhone, iPad, and Mac serve as Matter controllers).
  • Filled in the early standard iPads—the iPad 2 and the 3rd and 4th generations—so the line runs unbroken from 2010.
  • Face ID gained two capability features: “Face ID with a Mask” (iPhone 12 and later) and “Landscape Face ID” (every Face ID iPad and iPhone 13 and later).

Cleaner links, shareable picks, and friendlier errors

  • URLs lost their “.php” endings—pages are now /os, /picker, /whichos, and so on. Old links redirect automatically, so anything you’ve bookmarked keeps working.
  • The Picker Matrix now writes your selection into the address bar, so a set of features can be bookmarked or sent to a colleague—there’s a “Copy link” button too.
  • Mistyped or missing pages now show a proper Fruit Specs page with a search box, instead of a bare server error.
  • Which OS? labels Intel Macs (e.g. “MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019, Intel)”), making it clear at a glance why they stop at macOS 26.
Jun 24, 2026

Wireless charging, in detail

  • Filled a gap in the Qi data: the iPhone XS/XR and iPhone 11 series now correctly list Qi wireless charging.
  • Split Qi2 into its two tiers to match the standard: “Qi2 Wireless Charging (15W)” for the iPhone 15 line and 17e, and “Qi2.2 Wireless Charging (25W)” for the iPhone 16 and 17 lines.
Jun 23, 2026

New “Which OS?” tool

  • Pick a platform and the OS versions you’re comparing and get the devices grouped by which they run—“run both,” “run one only,” “run neither”—with each product line collapsed to “…and later.” Copies out as Markdown or rich text.
Jun 22, 2026

HDR display tracking

  • Added an “HDR Display” feature flagging the devices with a true HDR panel—OLED iPhones, XDR Macs and iPad Pros, Apple Vision Pro, and the Studio Display XDR.
Jun 19, 2026

Security, data fixes, and link polish

  • Admin sign-in moved from the browser password box to a proper login page.
  • Added the original Mac Studio (M1 Max/M1 Ultra, 2022) that was missing; corrected the iPhone 16e’s wireless charging (Qi only; no MagSafe/Qi2) and filed MagSafe under Charging.
  • Technical specs (USB, Thunderbolt, Wi-Fi, chips, and the like) now link out to Wikipedia, and outbound links show a small Apple- or Wikipedia-destination icon.
Jun 18, 2026

The Picker Matrix went interactive

  • Results update live as you tick features, and options that can’t narrow the set any further are grayed out.
Jun 12, 2026

Relaunched as Fruit Specs, with OS compatibility

  • New home at fruitspecs.com (old links redirect over automatically).
  • Every device now shows the range of OS versions it runs, from the version it shipped with through its last (or current) supported release.
  • Each OS release page lists the oldest compatible models per product line and the newest model that just missed the cut.
  • The feature picker left beta and was added as Picker Matrix.
Jun 8, 2026

The “OS 27” generation, in beta

  • Added the announced 27-series releases—iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 “Golden Gate,” watchOS 27, and visionOS 27—flagged Beta and dated “Fall 2026,” with their announced features.
Jun 3, 2026

Data refresh and public go-live

  • Brought hardware and features current through the spring 2026 product wave; added a privacy policy and search-engine optimizations.
Mar 7, 2026

First release

  • Initial launch: a searchable database of Apple hardware and OS features showing the earliest model or version to introduce each, with related Take Control book recommendations.
