How to Identify Your iPad Model

Find the generation and A-number so a buyer can distinguish a standard iPad from an Air, mini or Pro.

Updated

Use Settings if the iPad works

Open Settings → General → About. Note Model Name and capacity. Tap the Model Number field to switch from the part number to the A-number when available. The A-number helps identify generation and connectivity.

Use the case marking carefully

Some iPads show a small model number on the back. If it is readable, compare it with Apple's official identification list. Do not infer the generation from color, a cover or screen size alone.

Record cellular and storage details

Storage capacity is not the same as unused space. Cellular connectivity can affect the configuration even if you have never activated a plan. Mention any carrier obligation or account restriction without sending billing records.

Explain what you cannot verify

For a non-working iPad, say that it does not power on and report the markings you can read. If there is uncertainty, a buyer may need a closer inspection before quoting. A more honest “not sure” is better than selecting the nearest-looking model.
