Which iPad do I have? Apple releases so many types of iPads that you may not be sure which version you have at home. In this article we explain how you can easily and quickly recognize an iPad.
Which iPad do I have?
Most iPads are quite similar. Recognizing a model remotely is therefore easier said than done. For example, are you going to buy a protective cover for your iPad? Then it must fit perfectly, otherwise it will not fit. In addition, a poorly fitting cover can cause damage.
So check in advance which iPad exactly you have at home. You can do this in two ways. If you are using the tablet now, it is best to dive into the settings:
- Grab your iPad and open the Settings app;
- Tap on ‘General’ and go to ‘Info’;
- Write down the model number: it starts with the letter A.
Apple uses many different model numbers, so it is helpful to write this number down. Is the battery of your iPad empty? Then you can also check the model number outside the settings. This is because it is on the back. Turn the iPad over and look under the Apple logo again for the model number, which can be recognized by the letter A.

There are several situations conceivable in which it is useful to know which version you have exactly. For example, are you going to sell your iPad? Then it is useful to state the model number in the advertisement, because that way interested parties can search more specifically via, for example, Marktplaats.
