To know what iPhone model you have, follow these steps:
- Check in Settings:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Go to General > About.
- Look for the Model Name and Model Number.
- If only a part number appears, tap it to see the model number starting with "A" (e.g., A2342).
This is the easiest and most direct way to identify your iPhone model if your device is running iOS 10.3 or later
- Look on the Back of Your iPhone:
- For older iPhones (up to iPhone 8 and 8 Plus), the model number is printed in small text near the bottom on the back of the device.
- If you don’t see it there, your iPhone is likely a newer model (iPhone 8 or later) where the model number is not printed on the back
- Check the SIM Card Tray or Connector Slot:
- For some newer iPhones without the model number on the back, remove the SIM card tray and look inside the slot for the model number printed on the edge.
- If your iPhone uses eSIM only (like some iPhone 14 or later models), check inside the Lightning or USB-C connector slot for the model number
- Use a Computer:
- Connect your iPhone to a Mac (Finder on macOS Catalina or later) or PC (iTunes).
- Select your device to see the model information displayed
- Cross-Reference the Model Number:
- Once you have the model number (e.g., A2342), compare it with Apple’s official list or reliable online resources to identify the exact iPhone model you own
This process helps you accurately identify your iPhone model for troubleshooting, buying accessories, or getting support
