What iPhone model do I have? Find your iPhone model

Many iPhone models look alike. Sure, if you are tech-savvy, you might know about the differences by seeing the camera style, antenna lines, dimensions, etc. But what about general folks! Well, if you are someone who has trouble knowing what iPhone model you have or which one you are about to buy a refurbished iPhone, here’s an easier way to find out. Let me guide you through the process of identifying various iPhone models.

How can I find out which iPhone model I have?

Identifying your iPhone model can be essential for various reasons, such as ensuring compatibility with accessories, software updates, or troubleshooting issues. Use the steps below to find out which iPhone model you own and confirm it with the list at the end of this post.

Check the iPhone model number using the Settings app

The easiest way to determine your iPhone model is through the Settings app:

1. Turn on the iPhone and open the Settings app.
2. Tap on General and tap on About.
   
   
3. Look for the Model Name and Model Number.
4. Tap on Model Number. You will see a number starting with ‘A’ (e.g., Axxxx). This is your iPhone’s official model number, which you can cross-reference with Apple’s list of iPhones.
   
   

Look inside the SIM slot to check the iPhone model number without turning it

On newer iPhones (8 and later), the model number is etched inside the SIM slot. The tiny alphabet is tough to read, so make sure you have a flashlight or a second mobile phone with a torch.

1. Use a SIM eject tool or a paperclip to remove the SIM tray. Put it safely aside.
2. In bright light, look at the upper side of the SIM slot; you should see a small number printed there.
3. This number will also start with an “A” and can be matched against a list of iPhone models.

See the Back of the iPhone

On older iPhones (7 and earlier), the model number is written at the back of the device. It is easily visible.

1. Remove any case, cover, skin, or opaque protector from the back of your iPhone.
2. In the lower back, you will see the model number. It starts with the alphabet ‘A.’

Unfortunately, this information is no longer displayed on the back of iPhones after the iPhone 8, so you’ll need to use the other methods mentioned.

Once you know the model number (after following one of the above methods), match that number with the list below to identify which iPhone you have. Here is a quick overview table of the latest iPhone series models:
