4 Methods to Identify or Find Your iPhone Model
1 Identify with iOS (Settings) Recommended
This method works if your iPhone turns on normally.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone
- Tap "General"
- Tap "About"
- You will see several pieces of information: Model name (ex: "iPhone 17 Pro Max"), Model number (ex: A3257), Serial number and IMEI
💡 Tip: The "Model number" always starts with the letter "A" followed by 4 digits. This is the most precise identifier for your iPhone.
2 Identify with model number on back case
This method works even if your iPhone no longer turns on.
- Turn over your iPhone (back facing you)
- Look for the model number engraved in small text at the bottom of the back case
- The number starts with "A" followed by 4 digits (ex: A3257, A3084, A2849)
- Use the search bar below to find your model
⚠️ Note: On recent iPhones (iPhone 12 and later), the model number can be very small and difficult to read. Use a magnifying glass if necessary.
3 Identify with serial number
Alternative method if you have access to your iPhone.
- Open Settings → General → About
- Note the serial number (ex: "C02F8DJ2ND")
- Go to checkcoverage.apple.com
- Enter your serial number
- Apple will display the exact model of your iPhone
✅ Advantage: This method also gives you the manufacturing date, country of origin and warranty status.
4 Identify with IMEI
The IMEI is engraved on the SIM card tray or visible in Settings.
- Method A: Remove the SIM card and look at the IMEI number engraved on the tray
- Method B: Settings → General → About → IMEI
- Method C: Dial *#06# on the phone keypad
- Use an IMEI verification site or contact Apple Support with this number
💡 Tip: The IMEI is a unique 15-digit number that uniquely identifies your iPhone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the model number on my iPhone?
The model number is usually found:
- On the back case (engraved in small text at the bottom, starts with "A" followed by 4 digits)
- In Settings → General → About ("Model number" section)
- On the original box (if you kept it)
- On the purchase invoice (if bought new)
What to do if my iPhone no longer turns on?
If your iPhone no longer turns on, use method 2 (model number on case). The number is physically engraved on the back case, so accessible even if the iPhone no longer works.
Why is identifying my iPhone model important?
Identifying your iPhone model precisely is essential for:
- Ordering the right spare parts (screen, battery, case...)
- Getting an accurate repair quote
- Checking accessory compatibility (cases, chargers, screen protectors)
- Knowing exact technical specifications
- Estimating trade-in value if you want to resell it
- Checking compatibility with iOS updates
How do I know if my iPhone is compatible with an iOS update?
Once you have identified your model, go to apple.com/ios to check if your iPhone can receive the latest version of iOS.
What is the difference between model number and serial number?
Model number (ex: A3257): Identifies the type of iPhone (iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 15, etc.). Multiple iPhones of the same model share the same model number.
Serial number: Uniquely identifies your iPhone. Each iPhone has a different serial number, like a fingerprint.
