How to Decode iPhone Serial Number

In case you are not aware, the serial number provides some interesting information about your iPhone, including the week it was manufactured and the factory id.

Folks at OS X Daily tell us that the serial number on the iPhone tells you the week it was manufactured, the factory where it was made and somethings which you already know such as the color and the size of the storage.

E00 - White iPhone 4 32Gb. Dunno about CDMA or not.

IyonUK · January 2012

Just checked. Is GSM.

iPhoneHacks · January 2012

Thanks for the tip. We've updated the post with that info.

IyonUK · January 2012

The other half's white iPhone 4 8Gb A1332 ends DPMW. (serial is 12 chars)

Thanks for the information. Very helpful..

The CCC field seems to contain 3 uppercase letters, hence with a maximum value of 26**3 = 17'576.I am suprised to see that one factory could not make more units in one week (for a single model although).

Paul · January 2012

Factory and machine numbers are 83 on mine. Made in the 27th week of 2010. anyone know the factory identifications?

Or you can just input your serial on this site: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html and it will give you all the above info and more! :)Jack

I'm a tech and repair iPhones and have found EveryMac.com's lookup iPhone specs (and Macs, etc) tool to be the most comprehensive and accurate for both 11 and 12 character serial numbers (type in the last 3 characters for 11 and the last 4 for 12). It doesn't tell storage size, which is printed on the back of the iPhone, and there are many serial numbers for each storage size, but it helps you quickly identify the right one.

Cool. Seems when I bought my iPhone 4, it was only two weeks old.

lawrence · January 2012

I have a white, iPhone 4S with 64GB. The third digit in my serial number is a 9. 2009?! That doesn't make sense.

Louis · January 2012

This is not always correct. I have a 3Gs which starts with 5K which means refurbished. (my phone original fell and broke). The next 3 digits are 021 which is week 21 of 2010. However, by that week Apple was already producing the New Bootrom 3Gs but mine has the Old Bootrom. The only thing I can think of is that this is NOT the manufacture date but the refurbish date which leaves you in the dark when and where you phone was manufactured.

I have a white iphone 4S and the serial number starts with DNP...

Pistache · January 2012
