To determine which iPhone you have, start with these quick checks:
- Check Settings
- Open Settings > General > About.
- Look for Model Name and Model Number. The Model Name will tell you the exact model (e.g., iPhone 13 Pro), and the Model Number (Axxxx) can be cross-referenced to confirm the exact variant. This method works on most current iPhones.
- Inspect the physical back or SIM tray
- On older iPhone models (up to iPhone 8/8 Plus), the model number is often printed on the back of the device near the bottom.
- For iPhone X and later, remove the SIM card tray and look inside the tray for the model number printed along the edge. Some US models with eSIM only may not have a SIM tray, in which case this step isn’t applicable.
- Use the model number to identify the exact model
- Once you have the model number (Axxxx), you can match it to the official list of iPhone models to determine the generation and variant. This approach covers all iPhone releases and is the most reliable way to identify the model precisely.
If you can share what you see in Settings (Model Name and Model Number), or the exact model number printed on the device or SIM tray, I can pinpoint the precise iPhone model for you.
