I would love to see this extended to hardware purchases too. Some of this info is available on the Apple ID site but I'd like to see a comprehensive list on the phone.

Sadly I cannot find a way to search every year all at once. I could only search a single year at a time for a specific app. Maybe I'm missing something.
