Sometimes you will have to buy iPhones that are not distributed through official stores, and the biggest concern is the authenticity of the “beloved phone”. At this time, checking the iPhone’s serial number will give you a reliable answer. Below, FPT Shop will share the most accurate way to check the serial number, helping you become a smart consumer when choosing products from the giant Apple.
What is an iPhone Serial Number?
The iPhone Serial Number is a technical identifier, distinguishing each iPhone, iPad produced by Apple. These numbers are used for purposes such as checking product information such as warranty period, origin, year of production, etc. This is something that “hackers” cannot fake. So you can completely use the serial number of the iPhone to check the credibility of the product.
But to imagine more clearly, you can understand simply that the serial number of the iPhone is like our ID card number. It is used to identify products of Apple, because there is no second item with the same serial number, so checking the iPhone serial number helps you know if your device is a genuine product.
How to find the iPhone Serial Number
To check the iPhone serial number, first check the serial number on your device with the following steps:
Method 1: Check directly in the device’s settings
Step 1: Access the Settings of the device > General > About.
Step 2: If you use the Vietnamese language, your serial number will be located in the “Số sê-ri” section, if you use English, it will be “Serial Number” – This is the serial number of the device.
Method 2: Check via the iTunes app
Another way that helps you accurately check the serial number on the iPhone is to check through the iTunes software. Usually, this method is used by most sellers because it can help check quickly with a large number of products.
Step 1: Prepare the iTunes software on your computer.
Step 2: Connect the iPhone device you want to check the serial number with the computer.
