If you want to buy some iPad accessories or sell your iPad online, you might be stuck on the question which iPad do I have? Our iPad comparison list of generations and models includes the latest iPads, so you'll be able to find your device no matter when it came out.
The easiest way to begin your search for which kind of iPad you own is to find your device's model number. The first method doesn't even require that you turn on your iPad; all you need to do is look on the back of your device. You'll see "iPad" engraved there, and underneath you'll see smaller print, including the capital letter "A", followed by a series of numbers. That's your model number. If you have your device in a case and don't want to take it out or would rather not have to get out a magnifying glass to see the tiny print, you can use this method for iPad model number lookup:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap General.
- Tap About.
- In the Model Number section, you may see a longer number that ends with "A". This is your iPad's SKU number. To view your model number, tap once on this section and you'll get a shorter number that begins with "A". This is also the screen you need for an iPad serial number lookup.
Now that you have your model number, it's time to use that information to learn how to tell what iPad you have.
