If you’re trying to identify your iPad model, you’re not alone. Knowing your model number is essential when arranging repairs, buying accessories, or selling your device. Whether you’re planning a screen replacement, battery change, or trade-in, the model number helps ensure you get the right service and parts.
This guide will show you how to easily find your iPad model number and explain why it matters.
The quickest way to identify your iPad model is by checking the back of your device.
You’ll find a small inscription near the bottom that says “Model”, followed by a number starting with A (for example, A1876 or A2270).
This number corresponds to your iPad’s specific version, which you can match against Apple’s official list of models.
You can also find your model information via Settings:
Open Settings on your iPad.
Tap General → About.
Look for Model Name and Model Number.
The Model Name (e.g. iPad Air (3rd Generation)) tells you the iPad’s generation.
To view the exact Model Number (the one beginning with “A”), tap the part number once.
This method is ideal if your iPad’s back engraving is worn or hard to read.
If you still have your iPad’s original packaging or purchase receipt, you can find the model number near the barcode label. This is also a reliable way to verify authenticity when buying or selling a used device.
Identifying your iPad model ensures you get the correct screen, battery, or charging port during repairs. Using the wrong part can affect performance or compatibility.

Knowing your model ensures that you purchase compatible accessories like cases, keyboards, and chargers. Many accessories are designed specifically for certain iPad generations and sizes.
Some iOS updates and apps are only supported on newer iPad models. Knowing your model number helps check whether your device supports the latest iPadOS updates and features.
Before upgrading to a newer model, compare your current iPad’s specifications and performance. Understanding your model helps you decide whether an upgrade or repair offers better value.
Model numbers (e.g. A2436) represent specific versions of iPads, each with unique hardware and display features. These identifiers help determine compatibility with repair parts, software updates, and accessories.
