Did you ever find it difficult to identify your iPad model? If the answer’s yes, trust me, there are many others like you. While there have been some significant changes in context to performance and features, the outer appearance of iPads remained more or less similar.
This may eventually make it difficult to identify and differentiate between various models. If you’re also confused with questions like, ‘Which iPad model do you have?’ or ‘How do you recognize an iPad model?’, this guide can help you identify different iPad models and generations. Here’s how to do it.
How to find the model of your iPad
- Open the Setting app from the home screen of your iPad.
- Tap on General and go to the About section.
- Here, you will find your iPad’s model name and number.
Just in case your iPad is turned off or can’t be operated, and you want to know your iPad model. Here’s an alternate way.
You’ll notice the model number at the rear-bottom part of your iPad. It is an alpha-numeric code, starting with ‘A’ followed by a set of numbers. This number won’t just tell you your iPad model; it will also tell you if your model is Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + Cellular.
If the generation isn’t listed in the Model Name field, you can still find it using your Model Number (starting with A). Just visit Apple’s iPad model identification page.
