It is simple to find, but knowing precisely how to locate the serial number on your iPhone is dependent on the model you own and if you can power on the iOS device.

  1. Open the browser and head to https://appleid.apple.com/
  2. On your Apple ID page, swipe down to “Devices.” and locate the iPhone you want the serial number for.
