iPhone: Find out the serial number - this is how it works

If you have lost your iPhone or it was stolen, you should have saved the serial number of the device somewhere. Only with this, the iPhone can be clearly identified. You can find the serial number in different places - on the packaging, in the settings or on the device itself.

How do you find out the serial number of the iPhone?

The serial number of the iPhone is in different places and exists several times.

1. If you want to find all the data about your iPhone, that is, the serial number, IMEI / MEID or ICCID, then it goes very well on the device itself.
2. Open the settings by tapping on the associated gray app.
3. Now go further to "General" > "Info".
4. Here you can see all the information about your device and also the serial number. From iPhone 6, the IMEI/MEID can only be found in the SIM card tray.
5. Have you connected your phone to iTunes, you can also get to know the serial number here.
6. To do this, simply click on "Overview" on your iPhone. The serial number is then on the left side.
7. If you do not have the phone at hand, you can find out the serial number without the iPhone.
8. In this case, just look on the packaging. Hier befindet sich die Seriennummer auf dem Barcode-Aufkleber.
9. Die Seriennummer ist auch online in Ihrem Apple-Account hinterlegt. Dazu melden Sie sich mit Ihrer Apple-ID auf der Webseite an und gehen auf „Geräte“.
