Serial

A simple iOS app for looking up an Apple device's serial number.

Try Reincubate Lookup

Serial has been succeeded by Reincubate Lookup, which you can read more about here. It features a brand-new design and tons more information.

Download on the App Store


Warning: Serial was coded quickly in a night as I needed to buy an iOS device with a specific version.

How does it work?

Apple device serial numbers follow a known format that makes it trivial to decode their factory, manufacture week, and unique/product model identifier.

This app uses an Apple support API to find the name of a device, given the 'product model identifier' suffix of a serial number.

Additionally, it infers the OS family based on the device's name. If it matches a known OS type, it will get the highest probable OS version the device shipped with based on the week of manufacture. This is extremely useful if you are trying to buy a device on a certain version.

You may also scan serial number barcodes from Apple product boxes.

How can I use it?

  1. Open the Xcode project (Serial.xcworkspace) in Xcode.

  2. Change the app bundle identifier and teams to your own and.

  3. Build the app and install it on your iOS device.
