iPhone Model Checker
On your iPhone, the identifier shows under Settings, General, About as the model name in support tools. Pick it below and we will name the phone.
Tip: for buying the right case or wallpaper, the marketing name is what matters. Cross-check it with our Wallpaper Maker sizes.
About the iPhone Model Checker
Apple identifies every iPhone by a code like iPhone16,2. It is printed in Settings and on receipts, but it is not the name on the box. This checker converts any iPhone identifier, and most model numbers, into the exact model name, so you always know what you are buying, selling or repairing.
How to use it
- 1 Find the identifier in Settings, General, About (tap the model number to reveal it), or copy it from a listing.
- 2 Paste it into the checker.
- 3 Get the exact model name and its key facts.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I find the identifier?+
In Settings, General, About. The Model Number field shows an A-number first; tap it and it switches to the part number, and the identifier format appears in many diagnostic and sales listings.
What is the difference between A-numbers and identifiers?+
A-numbers (like A3105) describe a regional hardware variant. The identifier (like iPhone16,2) names the model family your software sees. Both point to the same model here.
Can I check an iPad or Mac too?+
The checker focuses on iPhone identifiers, which are the ones buyers meet most. iPad and Mac identifiers follow the same pattern.
