How to find your iPhone Model Number on your device?
If you cannot find the model number using the first method, you can locate it directly on the device. The location of the model number varies depending on your iPhone model:

iPhone 8 and Later (with SIM Tray): Remove the SIM tray and look inside the slot in a well-lit area. The model number is on the slot's upper side — the side with the display.
iPhone Models with eSIM Only: If your iPhone supports only eSIM and lacks a SIM tray, the model number can be found inside the Lightning or USB-C connector slot. Again, ensure you're in a well-lit environment and look for the model number on the upper side of the connector — the side with the display.
iPhone 7 or Earlier, iPad, or iPod Touch: The model number is printed on the back of the device for these devices.

Step 2: How to Find the iPhone Country of Manufacture

After finding the iPhone's model number, you should find its country of manufacture. This can be accomplished by noting the model number's first two letters before the slash (e.g., LL in LL/A). These letters represent certain nations or areas.
