Hi Ben, I learned something today. That's pretty cool and I bookmarked that site because now I'll never need anybody to look this up for me again. I can always get to my serial number and now with that and the help of that site I can find the model number.

Navigate to settings > general > about. 2. Find the serial number and make a note of the last four characters. 3. Enter them on this http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/ page. NB: the page is fairly cluttered, so I tend to just jump to the first edit box by pressing e. 4. If the last 4 characters don't produce a result try the last 3 instead. For example, if we enter dtd7 which is the last 4 characters of my 4S's serial number, we see: Showing 1 - 1 of 1 iPhone 4S (4s*) 800 MHz* Apple A5 Intro Date: October 4, 2011* Disc Date: None Order No: MC918LL/A* Model No: A1387 (EMC 2430) Subfamily: iPhone 4S (4s) Model ID: iPhone4,1 Std RAM: 512 MB* Std VRAM: None Std Storage: 8, 16, 32, 64 GB Std Optical: None Cheers, Ben.
