MacIQ data

What the files are

There is one file per Mac, and one catalogue that lists them all. Each Mac’s file holds the figures shown on that Mac’s page: one value for each specification, the one printed on the page. The files are static and are rebuilt with the site.

• The catalogue. /data/catalogue.json lists all 100 Macs, newest first, with each one’s slug, name, release date, what that date is based on (an in-stores day, an order day, a month or an announcement), and the path of its page.
• One Mac. /data/<slug>.json, where the slug is the last part of the Mac’s page address: /macs/macbook-air-13-m4-2025/ has its figures at /data/macbook-air-13-m4-2025.json. Each Mac’s page links its file with rel="alternate".
• All the figures as a spreadsheet. /data/maciq-claims.csv holds the same figures as the 100 files, one row for each Mac and attribute (5,215 rows, including each Mac’s release date and launch price), with the columns slug, mac, attribute, label, value, unit, source_type, third_party, source_name, source_url, date_accessed, date_published, test, drive and condition. It is a long table, not a wide one, because Macs do not share the same attributes and every figure needs its own source. It is built from the same data as the JSON files. A figure from a third party has third_party set to yes and is not covered by the licence below.
• What changed, and when. The changes page lists each change to the figures, release dates and launch prices since 2 October 2026, by day and by Mac; the same list is the file /data/changes.json.
• The macOS dates. /updates/macos.ics is a calendar (iCalendar) and /updates/feed.xml an Atom feed of the same dates: each macOS release date, and each date endoflife.date lists as the end of security updates, with the source of each. Apple publishes no end dates, so none are projected.

For example:

• MacBook Air (13-inch, M4, 2025): /data/macbook-air-13-m4-2025.json
• Mac mini (M4, 2024): /data/mac-mini-m4-2024.json
• iMac (24-inch, M4, 2024, Four ports): /data/imac-24-m4-2024-four-ports.json

What each figure carries

Every entry in a file’s claims list is one figure, with these fields.

• attribute and value. What the figure is, and the figure.
• unit. The unit, where the figure has one.
• source_name and source_url. The page the figure was read from, by name and by address.
• date_accessed. The day MacIQ read it, as a date (year, month, day).
• source_type. Which kind of source it is: manufacturer_declared for Apple’s own published figures (4,818 of 5,018), third_party for a named outside source (200), measured for a lab’s own bench result (0).

Where it applies, a figure also carries date_published (the date the source page gives for itself), and a few carry a test, drive or condition that says how the source defines the figure. A file also holds the Mac’s release date with its source and, where there is one, its price with its source. Here is one figure, copied from /data/macbook-air-13-m4-2025.json:

{"attribute":"weight_kg","value":1.24,"unit":"kg","source_type":"manufacturer_declared","source_name":"Apple Support (UK) — MacBook Air (13-inch, M4, 2025) - Tech Specs","source_url":"https://support.apple.com/en-gb/122209","date_accessed":"2026-09-14"}

Use this line:

Source: MacIQ (maciq.app), read <date>

Replace <date> with the day you read the data. For example, a reader who read it on 27 October 2026 would write Source: MacIQ (maciq.app), read 27 October 2026.

The licence covers MacIQ’s compilation; the Geekbench scores in the files remain Primate Labs’ figures and are not covered by it, and each such figure names its source.

The same applies to the CSV: each Geekbench row has third_party set to yes and names Primate Labs’ page as its source.

What this is

This is MacIQ’s compilation of publicly stated Apple figures, not Apple’s data. 4,818 of the figures were read from pages Apple publishes and 200 from Geekbench Browser (Primate Labs), a third party, marked third_party; each links the page it came from. MacIQ has measured none of them. Mac, MacBook, iMac and macOS are trademarks of Apple Inc.; MacIQ is not affiliated with Apple. How the figures are chosen and sourced is on the methodology page.
