The beloved iPhone has become one of the most vital communication, information and entertainment tools in the arsenal of everyone from teenagers to grandparents. Updating your device as technology advances is essential to ensuring operates optimally. Plus, knowing how old your iPhone is equips you with crucial information if repairs are needed or you're looking to upgrade.
How to Determine the Age of an iPhone
There are two core steps to determining how old your iPhone is, starting with identifying the kind of iPhone you have and then finding its release date.
What Kind of iPhone Do You Have?
First, establish which iPhone model you own. You can use two methods to determine this, which are:
- Look at the back of the phone, and your iPhone model should be visible.
- Alternatively, open the Settings app on your phone and head to the About section, where it indicates your iPhone's model number.
