You can determine your iPhone’s model by checking the About section in your phone’s settings. If your iPhone powers on, go to Settings > General > About > Model Name.

Alternatively, take the SIM tray out and look for the model number printed on the inside edge of the SIM card slot. The model number will begin with the letter ‘A’ and will contain 4 digits. Once you’ve retrieved the model number, check this Apple support page to confirm the model name of your iPhone.

iPhones older than iPhone 7 will have the model number printed on the back of the phone.

Can I sell my iPhone if it’s broken?

Accidents happen and if your iPhone has a broken screen or other damage, you can still sell it. You may not receive as much money as one in perfect condition, but recyclers will still take a broken iPhone you just have to specify exactly what is wrong with it. However, you should always check the recycler’s terms and conditions as some do not accept water-damaged devices.
