To check the manufacture date of an iPhone, you can use the device’s serial number. Here’s how you can find the serial number and determine the manufacturing date:
- Find the Serial Number:
- Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
- Go to “General” and then select “About.”
- Scroll down to find the “Serial Number.” Tap on it to copy it to the clipboard.
- Check the Serial Number:
- The serial number of your iPhone consists of several characters. The fourth and fifth characters represent the manufacturing week, and the sixth and seventh characters represent the manufacturing year.
- For example, if the serial number is “DNQG12345678,” the “G1” in the middle represents the manufacturing week and year.
- Decode the Serial Number:
- The third character in the iPhone serial number represents the production year.
- A: 2010
- B: 2011
- C: 2012
- D: 2013
- E: 2014
- F: 2015
- G: 2016
- H: 2017
- J: 2018
- K: 2019
- L: 2020
- M: 2021
- N: 2022 (Note: This list may not cover all possible years as future iPhone releases could introduce new codes.)
- The fourth and fifth characters represent the production week. For example, if it’s “13,” it means the iPhone was manufactured in the 13th week of the year.
- The third character in the iPhone serial number represents the production year.
In the example “DNQG12345678,” the “G1” indicates that the iPhone was manufactured in the 13th week of 2022.
