How to find out what iPhone model. Apple iPhone X: differences between models for different countries What is the difference between iPhone models

Generations and varieties of iPhone

Since the summer of 2007, when the first generation of iPhone was released, a lot of models and varieties of Apple smartphones have accumulated:

  • iPhone 2G (aluminum)
  • iPhone 3GS in two varieties - with old and new boot
  • iPhone 4 in three varieties - regular model, CDMA model and 2012 model
  • iPhone 5 in two versions - a model for America and a "global model"
  • iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
  • iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
  • iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
  • iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max

The very first aluminum iPhone, unlike other generations. A characteristic difference is the large black plastic insert for the antennas in the lower part of the rear wall of the case. Although this generation has a name attached to it, it does not refer to the generation of the iPhone itself, but to the generation cellular networks in which he works. The first iPhone supported only second generation networks (including GPRS and EDGE).

It has a completely plastic body in white or black. All inscriptions on the back wall are made with gray paint. The iPhone was named so due to the fact that it supported 3G cellular networks.

Externally, it almost completely replicates the appearance of the iPhone 3G, the only difference is that the inscriptions on the back wall are painted in exactly the same silver mirror paint as Apple logo.

Old and new iPhone 3GS bootroms

From the point of view of the prospects for jailbreaking, there are two types - with the old bootrom and with the new bootrom. Butrom(bootrom) is a non-rewritable hardware bootloader of the device, and the prospects for jailbreaking largely depend on the presence of vulnerabilities in it. The difference between the old and new bootrom is evident to this day: for iPhone 3GS with old boot Guaranteed untethered jailbreak for any iOS versions, and for iPhone 3GS with new boot- only tethered (read about the difference between tethered and untethered jailbreak).

It is easy to distinguish an iPhone 3GS with a new boot by its serial number. It is necessary to take the third, fourth and fifth digits. The third digit encrypts the year of production (9 = 2009, 0 = 2010, 1 = 2011), the fourth and fifth are the serial number of the week of the year in which the iPhone was released (from 01 to 52). The first iPhones 3GS with the new boot began to appear in the 40th week of 2009, and from the 45th week the new boot began to be used in all released iPhones. So, if the third digit of the iPhone 3GS serial number is 0 or 1, it definitely has a new bootrom. If the third digit is 9, you need to look at the fourth and fifth digits. If they are less than or equal to 39, the bootrom is definitely old; if they are greater than or equal to 45, the bootrom is definitely new.

To know serial number iPhone 3GS is possible without turning on the device, because... The serial number is printed on the SIM card tray. However, this is not a very reliable method, especially when purchasing, because... The tray is easy to replace. You can find out exactly the serial number either in iTunes (on home page device properties), or on the device itself, in the menu "Settings-General-About this device-Serial number".

It is significantly different from all previous iPhones, firstly, in design, and secondly, in display. Both the front and back panels are made entirely of glass, and the smartphone is surrounded by a metal antenna rim around the perimeter.

There are three iPhone 4 models:

  • regular GSM model, which looks exactly like the photo above
  • CDMA model iPhone 4 It is distinguished by the absence of a SIM tray and a different antenna design - it lacks a black stripe to the right of the headphone jack.
  • second revision of iPhone 4, which began production in 2012, looks no different from the regular iPhone 4 GSM, but its processor has much fewer jailbreak vulnerabilities. This iPhone model can only be distinguished using third-party utilities, for example, redsn0w. Connect the gadget to your computer, download redsn0w for OS X or Windows, run the utility. Go to the Extras-Even more-Identify menu, in the window that opens, scroll down the text and look at the value in the ProductType line. If there is "iPhone3,1" - this is a regular GSM-iPhone 4, if "iPhone3,2" is a new revision of iPhone 4 GSM; and the CDMA model is designated "iPhone3.3".

It looks almost the same as the iPhone 4 GSM, but its antenna design is the same as the iPhone 4 CDMA, while the iPhone 4S is always equipped with a SIM tray.

However, the most reliable way to distinguish an iPhone 4S is the model code on the back wall. If the second line under the word iPhone says “Model A1387”, this is definitely an iPhone 4S.

It differs from all other generations of iPhone in height - with the same screen width, its diagonal has grown to 4 inches. Back panel The iPhone 5 is made of aluminum, and there are glass inserts on the top and bottom that cover the antennas.

Initially, the iPhone 5 was released in two versions - the “American model” and the “global model”. The difference between them is the list of supported LTE bands, but for Russia this practically does not matter, because none of these models can operate on Russian frequencies allocated for 4G.

You can distinguish iPhone 5 models by the model code on the back wall. "Model A1428" gives "US model" and "Model A1429" says "global".

The first iPhone released in a multi-colored plastic case. Available in blue, green, pink, yellow and white models.

iPhone 5c was released in 6 hardware models - A1532 (for North America and China), A1456 (CDMA model for the USA and Japan), A1507 (worldwide model), A1529 (for Southeast Asia), A1516 and A1526 (for China) which differ in the composition of supported LTE bands.

The first iPhone with a Touch ID scanner. The fingerprint scanner is built into the Home button, which has lost the icon but has a metal bezel. Other external differences between the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5 are the dual flash and reduced clearance around the Power button and volume control buttons.

iPhone 5s came in 6 hardware models - A1533 (for North America and China), A1453 (CDMA model for North America and Japan), A1457 (global model), A1518 and A1528 (for China) and A1530 (for Southeast Asia ), which differ in the composition of supported LTE bands.

Unusual iPhone version, which is confirmed by its name. There are no numbers in it, and the letters SE mean Special Edition. Externally, the smartphone differs little from the iPhone 5s, but its hardware corresponds to the iPhone 6s. As for performance, the smaller iPhone even leads here, ahead of Apple's top flagships of 2015. There are practically no external differences between the iPhone 5s and SE: the SE is available in rose gold, while the 5s is not; In addition, there is additional marking on the back wall of the iPhone SE - a square with rounded corners and the inscription "SE" inside.

iPhone SE was released in 3 hardware models - A1662 (for America), A1724 (for China) and A1723 (for the rest of the world). It is important to note that the American model A1662 does not support LTE band 7, which is popular in Russia.

In 2017, the iPhone SE line was redesigned, instead of models with 16 and 64 GB of memory, models with 32 and 128 GB were produced.

Marked not only by a change in design, but also by another increase in screen diagonal. Externally, the iPhone 6 is similar to the very first generation of iPhone - a lot of metal, rounded corners. But that's where the similarities end: the iPhone 6 is much thinner and has different shapes and button positions. So, Power button moved from the top end to the right side of the smartphone. Another characteristic (and not the most pleasant) difference between the iPhone 6 and previous generations of iPhone is the camera protruding from the body. The iPhone 6 has only one hardware model, universal for all regions. iPhone 6 comes in three hardware models - A1549 (for the Americas), A1589 (for China) and A1586 (for the rest of the world).

The only thing that differs externally from the iPhone 6 is its size. But this is quite enough, because anyone will notice the difference between the diagonals of 5.5 and 4.7 inches. This is actually the largest iPhone ever. Like the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus has three different hardware models aimed at different regions of the world: A1522 for America, A1593 for China, and A1524 for most other countries.

The iPhone 6s cannot be visually distinguished from the iPhone 6; they are completely identical. However, the iPhone 6s is the first iPhone in history to also come in a new rose gold color. Other distinctive features iPhone 6s – 3D Touch display that recognizes pressure, and a 12-megapixel camera. But a turned off iPhone 6s can only be unambiguously determined after examining the back cover. There, under the iPhone inscription, you will see a capital letter S in a square with rounded corners. Engraved below in small print is the hardware model code - A1633 (US model), A1700 (China), A1691 (Southeast Asia) or A1688 (rest of the world).

For the iPhone 6s Plus, everything that is written above about the iPhone 6s is true. It is also impossible to distinguish the 6s Plus from the 6 Plus without looking at the back cover and making sure that there is an “S” there. Like the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 6s Plus comes in four hardware models - A1634 (US model), A1699 (China), A1690 (Southeast Asia) or A1687 (rest of the world).

In 2016, Apple's long-standing rule that a new number in an iPhone's model number always meant a redesign of the case was broken. Of course, the iPhone 7 can be distinguished from its predecessors, but only if you look closely. First of all, the new one iPhone generation There is no 3.5mm headphone jack. Secondly, the camera now does not stick out from the body so much; the protrusion has been smoothed out. Thirdly, the design of the antennas on the case has been simplified - the transverse straight stripes have been removed, leaving only stripes that go around the top and bottom edges of the iPhone along the perimeter. The iPhone 7 is no longer available in space gray; it has been replaced by two shades of black - matte and glossy (marketing name "black onyx"). The iPhone 7 has one of 4 hardware model numbers on the back wall - A1660, A1778, A1779 or A1780.

In the spring of 2017, a new color for the iPhone 7 case appeared – red.

For the iPhone 7 Plus, what is written in the paragraph above is again relevant, with the exception of the camera. It is difficult to confuse it with other models... if only because the iPhone 7 Plus has more than one. iPhone 7 Plus was the first iPhone ever to feature a dual-camera setup with 2x optical zoom and bokeh effects. Like the iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Plus is available in 4 hardware models – A1661, A1784, A1785 and A1786.

Spring 2017 iPhone of the year 7 Plus also began to be released in a red body color.

Although the iPhone 8 received the following number in its name, it was actually supposed to be called the iPhone 7s. There really are few differences from the “seven”: the back cover is made of glass, making it possible wireless charging, updated cameras and processor. Even their dimensions are the same, which makes it possible to use cases from iPhone 7/7+. The iPhone 8 has fewer colors than its predecessors: silver, space gray and gold. iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus each received 4 hardware models: A1863, A1905, A1906 and A1907 for iPhone 8; A1864, A1897, A1898 and A1899 for iPhone 8 Plus.

iPhone X is the same anniversary iPhone, dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the iPhone era that changed the world. This iPhone is radically different from anything that came before. It does not have a Home button (and indeed no buttons on the front at all) - this alone allows it to be clearly distinguished from other iPhones. This is also the first iPhone with an OLED display and new technology authorization using a three-dimensional model Face ID, which replaced the fingerprint scanner finger touch ID. The iPhone X has only two body colors: silver and space gray.

The iPhone X has two hardware models – A1865 and A1901.

iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max

iPhone XS is a logical continuation of the development of iPhone X. This generation was the first in history to support 512 GB of memory. Unlike the iPhone X, this iPhone was sold in three colors (a gold tint was added to silver and space gray) and in two sizes - along with the 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max.

The Max version of the iPhone XS also received two hardware SIM cards for the first time (in versions for China and Hong Kong, model A2104), the rest are content with eSIM. The remaining hardware models are the US version (A1920 and A1921 for the XS and XS Max, respectively), the global version (A2097 and A2101), the Japanese version (A2098 and A2102), and the XS model for China (A2100).

The iPhone XR was Apple's next big experiment since the not-so-successful iPhone 5c. The iPhone XR is deliberately cool - even the name emphasizes that it is only one letter of the alphabet behind the XS. There are not many compromises in it: an IPS display instead of OLED, one camera instead of two, and the absence of 3D Touch, but there are 6 bright body colors.

The iPhone XR has four hardware models - A1984 (American), A2105 (worldwide), A2106 (Japanese) and A2108 (Chinese, with two physical SIMs).

Determining your iPhone model can be useful in many cases, such as when purchasing or downloading new version iOS. It’s very easy to find out which model is in front of you - you just need to look at the back panel of the case. However, there are other distinctive features.

iPhone 5s

iPhone 5s comes in three different color options: silver, gold and milky gray. The back panel is made of anodized aluminum and has a True Tone LED flash, while the front Home button is equipped with a Touch ID fingerprint scanner.

The model number on the back of the case is:

  • A1533, A1457 or A1530 - iPhone 5s (GSM model).
  • A1533 or A1453 - iPhone 5s (CDMA model).
  • A1518, A1528 or A1530 - iPhone 5s (GSM model, China).

iPhone 5c

It's hard not to recognize the iPhone 5c - the bright colors of the case (white, blue, pink, yellow and green) immediately tell you what kind of smartphone is in front of you. The back panel is made of solid polycarbonate.

The model number on the back of the case is:

  • A1532, A1507 or A1529 - iPhone 5c (GSM model).
  • A1532 or A1456 - iPhone 5c (CDMA model).
  • A1516, A1526 or A1529 - iPhone 5c (GSM model, China).

iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 is often confused with the iPhone 5s, apparently forgetting that the “five” does not have a Touch ID fingerprint scanner and a gold finish. The easiest way to identify an iPhone 5 is by the number on the back panel:

  • A1428 - iPhone 5 (GSM model).
  • A1429 - iPhone 5 (GSM and CDMA models).
  • A1442 - iPhone 5 (CDMA model, China).

iPhone 4s

Very soon, users will no longer be confused between iPhone 4s and iPhone 4 - the latter will not support iOS 8 and identifying it will become much easier. Now it’s also easier to identify the iPhone 4s by the number on the back of the case:

  • A1431 - iPhone 4s (GSM model, China).
  • A1387 - iPhone 4s (CDMA model).
  • A1387 - iPhone 4s (GSM model).

iPhone 4

For the “four” everything that is written above is true. The model number is located on the back of the case:

  • A1349 - iPhone 4 (CDMA model).
  • A1332 - iPhone 4 (GSM model).

iPhone 3GS

The back panel of the iPhone 3GS is made of plastic, the engraving on it is of the same brightness with the Apple logo and this helps to distinguish it from the iPhone 3G. But to be sure, it is better to refer to the model number:

  • A1325 - iPhone 3GS (China).
  • A1303 - iPhone 3GS.

iPhone 3G

The engraved characters on the back of the case are less vibrant than the Apple logo above. In addition, the iPhone 3G does not come with 32 GB of memory, unlike the iPhone 3GS.

The model number on the back of the case is:

  • A1324 - iPhone 3G (China).
  • A1241 - iPhone 3G.

iPhone

The original iPhone is easy to identify: the back cover has two colors (as in the image), and there can only be one model number on it - A1203.

The iPhone 7 A1660 model does not support warranty service in the Russian Federation. But, this does not mean that the device will not “catch the network” in the Russian Federation. According to user reviews, the iPhone 7 A1660 operates normally with the MTS operator in LTE networks and TELE2. No user reviews were found for other operators.

One of the buyers of the gadget drew attention to the heating of the back cover while performing daily tasks. The A1660 version heats up much less than the iPhone 7 model 1778

A1778

How is iPhone 7 A1778 different from other models? Let's say, if we compare it with the A1660 version, it has similar supported frequencies cellular communications, excluding TD-SCDMA and CMDA EV-DO Rev (A1778).

Supported Frequencies

Therefore, the smartphone will not work in networks CDMA operators Sprint or Verizon. In the US, you can buy a version from T-Mobila and AT&T. You can also find the A1778 series smartphone in countries such as the UK, France, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Singapore and Australia.

An important difference between the iPhone 7 A1778 version is official warranty support from Apple in the Russian Federation. This version of the gadget searches for a network a few seconds longer than 1660. Slight local overheating is observed. Otherwise, there are almost no differences between 1778 and 1660.

A1779

But, if we consider in detail the ranges covered LTE frequencies, then this version is the leading one among the named criterion.

If you are planning to buy an iPhone on the secondary market, and have never dealt with Apple equipment before, don’t be lazy and study the visual differences between Apple smartphone models. This way you will immediately understand which iPhone is in front of you and not a single seller will fool you.

Most often, confusion arises with the so-called “esques” that come out after global smartphone updates. They have a very similar appearance to the previous model.

Let's start with the most common models on our market, which every third person uses. Earlier devices are not as common.

iPhone 5/ iPhone 5s/ iPhone SE

Many Internet sites are literally filled with these iPhones with a 4-inch display diagonal. Outwardly, it is quite easy to distinguish them, but you need to know what to look for. It is on such devices that scammers try to deceive buyers by giving out more old iPhone 5 for iPhone 5s or “esque” for iPhone SE.

The screen size, dimensions, color and weight of the devices are almost the same. Of course, the iPhone 5 was not sold in gold, and the 5s in rose gold, but the craftsmen from Gorbushka will be able to install a case of any color on the desired model, so you shouldn’t rely on color.

Storage capacity: iPhone 5 16/32/64 GB, iPhone 5s 16/32/64 GB, iPhone SE 16/32/64/128 GB.

Model number: iPhone 5 A1428, A1429, A1442, iPhone 5s A1453, A1457, A1518, A1528, A1530, A1533, iPhone SE A1723, A1662, A1724.

How to distinguish iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s

The main difference between the iPhone 5 is the lack of a Touch ID sensor. Home button has an icon and does not recognize fingerprints. This is visible both externally and by the absence of the Touch ID section in the settings.

Another significant point will be the flash on the back of the device. The older model has a round flash, while the iPhone 5s has an oval flash with two LEDs.

How to distinguish iPhone 5s and iPhone SE

Even experienced Apple equipment owners often get caught in this situation. Externally, the models are practically indistinguishable.

Some people see more chamfered edges on the ends of the SE model, but the changes are difficult to notice even in a direct comparison, so don't get your hopes up.

The main indicator for us is the marking on the back cover. The new iPhone has the “SE” index there. Keeping in mind the possibility of replacing the case, do not forget to check the model number in the settings of the device itself.

iPhone 5c

The bright plastic body immediately distinguishes the more affordable smartphone from the three previous models.

Storage capacity: 8/16/32 GB.

Model number: A1456, A1507, A1516, A1529, A1532.

iPhone 6/ iPhone 6s

Here lies another potential scam site. Often they try to pass off the “six” as an “esque” and add an extra 8-10 thousand to the price of the device.

The models can be distinguished from each other by the back cover. Have more new iPhone 6s has an “S” symbol on the back, and the iPhone 6s line also has a rose gold color.

Again, we don’t trust the appearance alone, we check the model number in the settings and the presence of 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s (you need to press hard on the application icons to call up the additional menu).

Storage capacity: iPhone 6 16/64/128 GB, iPhone 6S 16/32/64/128 GB.

Model number: iPhone 6 A1549, A1586, A1589, iPhone 6S A1633, A1688, A1700.

Apple phablets have the largest in the line Apple display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches. The body is larger than the regular 6/6s (158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1 mm versus 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm).

The models differ from each other, just like the previous ones, by the markings on the back panel.

Storage capacity: iPhone 6 Plus 16/64/128 GB, iPhone 6s Plus 16/32/64/128 GB.

Model number: iPhone 6 Plus A1522, A1524, A1593, iPhone 6S Plus A1634, A1687, A1699.

iPhone 7/ iPhone 7 Plus

Last year, Apple demonstrated the iPhone 7, and there were quite a few visual differences. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack on the bottom end of the case. From the back, the models can be recognized by the size of the camera module and antenna stripes on the top and bottom.

The iPhone 7 color line includes three new colors: onyx black, matte black and red.

Storage capacity: 32/128/256 GB.

Model number: iPhone 7 A1660, A1778, A1779, iPhone 7 Plus A1661, A1784, A1785.

Remember that iPhone cases are easily changed, and in China they have long been producing different covers in the style of new models for old iPhones. Visual differences will only help you get your bearings, but to accurately identify the model, look for its number on the back cover, box and in the iOS settings ( Settings – General – About this device).
