It’s always good to know what model of iPhone you have — for a variety of reasons. Maybe you’re checking to see if your iPhone is compatible with the latest iOS or you want to buy a new iPhone case. This article will help you learn more about what iPhone you have and other information, from what model it is to how much storage you have and how old it is.
How to tell what iPhone model you have
The quickest and easiest way to tell what iPhone you have is to access the Settings app:
- On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
- Tap General > About.
How to know what iPhone you have (if it’s not in Settings)
If you’re using an iPhone that doesn’t have iOS 10.3 or newer, then, unfortunately, the model name won’t be in the Settings app. To look up which model you have, you’ll need to:
- Look at the back of your phone to find the model number etched at the bottom.
- Match the model number to the list below.
If your iPhone doesn’t have the model number etched into the back, it means you have at least an iPhone 8 or newer. In that case, to figure out your model name, you should update your iOS. Then, you can look it up in the Settings app.
