Use the Serial Number and check with Apple

If you know your device’s serial number, it’s easy to check its coverage using Apple’s check coverage site.

Find your serial number

There are various ways to locate your serial number (or IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number), depending on the product; the number is often be found on the back of your device’s surface, in iTunes or inside the product.

If your device is operating, you can also locate the serial number:

  • Mac computers: from the About This Mac window (Apple Menu > About This Mac) Make Safari faster: Clear Safari’s cache, cookies and historyiOS devices (iPad, iPod, iPhone): Simply tap Settings > General > About

If your product is not working

You should look for the serial number on the device surface (usually the serial number is engraved on the back of the device like on the Apple Watch, iPad and iPhone). Used iPhone? Steps to Remove iCloud Activation Lock

It can also be found on your invoice, your original box. Serial numbers are printed near the barcode labels that come with the device.

And serial numbers can also be found in iTunes

If you want to see your serial number in iTunes:

  • Launch iTunes then choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or select Edit > Preferences (Windows)
  • Click devices
  • Mouse or tap over your previous backup(s) to display the serial number

Check Coverage With The Apple Support App

Another option is to use the Apple Support App to see your warranty information on devices associated with your Apple ID.

  1. Open the Apple Support App (or download and install it)
  2. Tap the Account option from the bottom menu
    1. If not signed in with your Apple ID, sign in
  3. Press the check coverage option
    1. Apple lists all devices associated with your Apple ID
    2. Tap the device you want to check to see its current warranty status and expiration date, if still under warranty
    3. If the warranty already expired, you see a warning signal
