Start here: model number

All topics →

This tag collects articles that help you figure out exactly which device you own, whether it’s a phone, a pair of earbuds, a headset, or a smartwatch. It’s for anyone who has lost the original box or manual, bought a used device, or simply wants to confirm the model before buying a case, screen protector, or compatible accessory. The information here is practical and straightforward, aimed at clearing up confusion about model numbers and generations.

The articles solve two main kinds of problems. First, they help you identify the specific generation or version of a product, such as learning how to tell which AirPod generation you have or how to find out what Samsung phone you own. Second, they help you determine the age and capabilities of a device, for example, figuring out how old an iPhone 11 is, or checking which camera specs come with different iPhone models. The guides also extend to other wearables, like how to identify your smartwatch model, and to audio gear, with advice on how to tell what headset you have.

Whether you need to confirm your AirPods’ generation for a firmware update, check your iPhone’s camera specs for a photography project, or identify an old Samsung phone for trade-in value, these articles give you the steps to do it. Each one focuses on the model number as the key piece of information, so you can move on to the next task with confidence.
