How to Check Phone Model on iPhone?

Figuring out what model an iPhone is can be tricky at first glance. After all, Apple has launched an impressive lineup of 46 iPhone models since its first release in 2007. Not surprisingly, many of them look and feel very similar to each other. If you’re wondering how to check the phone model on an iPhone, we’ve got you covered.

Whether you’re curious if your phone will support the latest iOS update or you’re trying to sell it, knowing the model number is important. The good news is it’s extremely straightforward to find the details yourself. So, let’s walk you through the steps to find it.

How to Find Out Which iPhone You Have?

There are two simple ways to answer the question, “What phone do I have?”. We’ll cover both methods so you can decide which one works best for you.

  • Method 1: Using the About Section in Settings

    For this, you’ll need to have your iPhone with you. Here’s what you can do:

    • Open the Settings App

      Locate Settings on your iPhone’s Home Screen. If you don’t see it, swipe down on your screen and type “Settings” in the search bar to find it quickly.

    • Tap on “General”

      Under Settings, scroll down and tap on General. Then, click on About, which is usually the first option.

  • Find the Model Name

    If your iPhone is running iOS 12.2 or later, the Model Name is listed on the third line. You can check the model name here, such as iPhone 12 or iPhone 15 Pro.

  • Locate the Model Number

    Beneath the model name on the About screen, you’ll find a Model Number. However, don’t stop there. The code you see first is the SKU number, not the actual model number. You have to tap on it, and it will reveal the official model number, starting with the letter “A.”

  • Method 2: Checking on Apple’s Website

    Another way to perform an iPhone model number check is by logging into Apple’s website. This method doesn’t require your iPhone in hand, making it perfect if the device is lost, broken, or unavailable. All you need is your Apple ID and password. Here’s how to proceed:

    • Step 1

      Open Apple’s official website on your computer or phone browser and log in using your Apple ID credentials.

    • Step 2

      Once you’re in, navigate to the “My Devices” section under your account settings.

    • Step 3

      In My Devices, you’ll see a list of all the Apple devices associated with your account, including your iPhone.

    • Step 4

      Select your phone from the list. Here, you’ll find details like the model name, serial number, and other useful information about your device.
