How to find IMEI

You can find these numbers in several places, including Settings, on the physical device, in the Finder or iTunes, and on the original packaging.

Find your serial number, IMEI/MEID, or ICCID in Settings

1. Go to Settings > General and tap About.
2. Look for the serial number. You might need to scroll down to find the IMEI/MEID, and ICCID.
3. To paste this information into Apple registration or support forms, touch and hold the number to copy.

Find your serial number or IMEI before setting up your device

1. Press and hold the device's power button until you see the device logo. You'll then see "Hello" in many languages.

How to Prep Your iPhone Before You Bring It In

An iPhone quote comes together quickly when the three numbers we ask for are already in front of you: the model and storage exactly as Apple names them, the IMEI, and the battery health percentage. The checklist below covers the rest of the prep.


Run through this before you head to the counter:

  • Name the exact variant. iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB network unlocked reads very differently from iPhone 15 128GB on a carrier. Storage tier and unlock status both feed the grade, so state them instead of leaving them to be found.
  • Pull the IMEI from Settings, General, About, or dial *#06# to show it on screen. The same digits are printed on the original box label, which is a fast way to confirm the box belongs to that handset.
  • Check Settings, Battery, Battery Health and Charging. Report the maximum capacity percentage and say whether the Service message is showing, since a battery flagged there will come up during testing anyway.
  • Back up first, then sign out of Apple ID and switch off Find My. On US models from the iPhone 14 onward there is no SIM tray at all, so transfer the eSIM to your next phone before you hand this one over.
  • Flag earlier repairs. A replaced display often shows up as a missing True Tone toggle, and Face ID that stopped working after a screen swap is worth saying up front so the diagnostics do not stall on it.

Charge the phone enough to boot and move through the menus, keep its cable in the bag, and text clear photos ahead if you want a preliminary read before the trip. Damaged handsets are looked at case by case, so a cracked back or a dead port is still worth asking about.

Which iPhone Models and Variants Are Moving Right Now

Inside the range we consider, the variant matters as much as the model number. A Pro or Pro Max with a telephoto lens and a ProMotion display grades on a different line from the standard body of the same year, and the frame tells you the generation: stainless steel on the 12, 13 and 14 Pro, titanium from the 15 Pro onward.

  • Pro and Pro Max - three-camera systems, ProMotion screens, usually 256GB or larger
  • Plus bodies - 14 Plus, 15 Plus, 16 Plus, big display without the Pro camera stack
  • Standard models - 12, 13, 14 and 15 at 128GB, steady interest when network unlocked
  • 12 mini and 13 mini - the only small-body iPhones Apple made, and they still move
  • Storage tiers - 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB grade separately, so quote the exact figure

Battery health and unlock status move a quote inside that range, so check Settings, Battery, Battery Health and Charging and note the maximum capacity before you visit.

What to Bring So the iPhone Arrives as a Complete Set

The cable is where the generation split shows up. The 12, 13 and 14 families charge over Lightning, the 15 and 16 families moved to USB-C. Bringing the lead that came with the handset keeps the charging test from turning into a hunt through our own box of cables.

  • Matching charger - Lightning for the 12 through 14, USB-C for the 15 and newer
  • Original box - the IMEI on the label should match the one under Settings, General, About
  • eSIM sorted out - US models from the 14 onward have no SIM tray, so move the line to your next phone first
  • MagSafe extras - chargers, wallets and cases are worth putting on the counter alongside the phone
  • Parts and Service History - that same About screen flags a non-genuine display or battery

Sign out of Apple ID, clear the passcode and lift any Screen Time restriction, and the diagnostics run straight through without pauses.
