What to Know

Your iPad's model number can be found in the Settings app. It can also sometimes be found printed on the back of the device.
You can check your iPad generation by matching the model number to the iPad Versions table below.

Here's how to do an iPad model number check, so you can easily identify which iPad version you have. We'll also go over how to know what iPad generation your iPad is from. Finally, we'll give you a list of all iPad versions and iPad model numbers. Here's how to tell what iPad you have.

What iPad Do I Have?

Need to identify an iPad model? The information you need to identify your iPad will depend on why you need it. If you’re getting your device repaired, the model number should be all you need (e.g., A1234). Buying a cool new iPad accessory? You’ll likely need your iPad model name and generation to check compatibility (e.g., 4th-Generation iPad Air). If you’re selling your device, it’s best to list the iPad model number, name, and generation. Below, we’ll cover some ultra-simple ways to find your iPad model and generation.

How to Find Your iPad Model Number

If you want to know which iPad you have, you should start by finding your device's model number (this is the letter "A", followed by a series of numbers). I recommend you start by checking your model number in the Settings app—with later iPad versions, you can view the model name, model number, and generation all in the same place. If you can view your iPad generation in the Settings app, it will be listed with the model name. If it doesn't show your iPad generation, find your model number, then skip to the section below to find your iPad generation. For more great iPad tutorials, be sure to check out our free Tip of the Day. Now, here's how to check your iPad serial number and model number:

Open the Settings app.
Tap General.
Select About.
You'll see your iPad model number. Tap the model number.
It will change to a number starting with the letter A. Directly underneath, you'll find your iPad serial number.
You can also check the back of your iPad. Some iPad models will have the model number and serial number printed there.
If your iPad won't turn on or is scratched on the back, you can identify your iPad by its external characteristics. To do so, check out our list of all iPad models and their features.

That's how to check your iPad model number. Now that you have your model number, it's time to use that information to learn how to tell what iPad you have. If you're getting your device repaired, you may not need more than your iPad model number. However, if you want to know what generation iPad you have, check the tables below to locate your generation by looking up the model number. We also have an article on how to do an iPad serial number lookup, if you need that info.
