How to Identify Your iPad Model

Apple's iPad has undergone numerous revisions and updates since its introduction in 2010. With various models, sizes, and features, it is essential to know which iPad you own when considering software updates, accessories, or troubleshooting techniques. This guide will walk you through the steps to correctly identify your iPad model.

1. Check the Model Number on the Back

The easiest way to identify your iPad model is to look at the back of your device. Near the bottom, you will see text that says, "Designed by Apple in California" followed by several lines of information. One of these lines will start with "Model" and will be followed by a combination of letters and numbers. This is your iPad's model number. Once you have this number:

• - Check the list below.

• - Match your model number to the corresponding iPad version.

2. Use Settings

• - Open the Settings app.

• - Navigate to General, then About.

• - Here, you will see various information about your device, including the Model Name and Model Number.

• - The Model Name will give you a general identification (e.g., "iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation"), while the Model Number will give a more specific code (like "A1895").
