F = Size of storage, S is 16GB and T is 32GBįor example, the serial 79049XXXA4S is from factory 79 (presumably Foxconn), was manufactured in 2010 in the 49th week, and is a black 16GB iPhone 4. DDD = Unique identifier (but unrelated to UDID). B = Year manufactured (simplified to final digit, 2010 is 0, 2011 is 1, etc). Serial numbers come in the form AABCCDDDEEF which can be read as follows: If the device is connected to a computer you can also look under the “Summary” tab of iTunes to find the serial number of the iPhone from there. Scroll down alongside other info like model, IMEI, and baseband firmware version until you see “Serial Number”. Just an extra step.Īpple also has the following site: Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support, (which is the screen shot your left) which looks up by SN, and I had hoped it might give me more info, but it is very limited when the item is older.If you want to follow along here with an iPhone, you can get the serial number in iOS of any device by doing the following: I now need to go to one web site to get the product info from the Serial Number, and if that web site doesn't have all the information I need, I can go to Apple's page to get more details. I just miss the page because it would take you right to the product. I'm not sure what it used to say, but now it says, "Browse Tech Specs By Product." Perhaps it used to say something else, although I'm pretty sure you could put other info in there beside just SN, so I don't think it was restricted to that.
The web site does indeed work, but you can no longer search by serial number, as in the past. So this could have made my question or at the minimum, left a gap in my question. I then started this discussion from the choice of community that best-fit, but not really. I then saw a place to start a Discussion from that article, and when I tried, it stopped me with this message: " We're unable to find the community associated with the article HT201300. In the "Helpful? Yes/No" at the bottom of that page, I clicked on NO, and had the opportunity to leave Apple a message about it and how it could be more helpful. I did a search, and found this article: Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support. Perhaps how I came to this discussion group might help. I tried a brand new, 2018, iPad 6 SN, and still get the message.
"I thought it was older SNs, but not so."
