How to identify the sound model ?

Mathilde Vicente

The iPhone follow and look alike (even the most recent) so much so that even the most informed users sometimes find it difficult to identify them.

In this tutorial, we give you 3 techniques to help you recognize the different iPhone models, which could be useful when buying a future smartphone, new or reconditioned, or even the resale of yours.

You will find its version thanks to the model number registered on its back, its identifier indicated in the settings or an element of its design.

Model number

The model number

The best way to identify an iPhone is to refer to your model number. On an iPhone 7 or anterior, you will find it on the back of the device and it is preceded by the letter A.

Once the number is found, take a look at the list given below to determine the model you have.

Note that the same iPhone may have different number. Indeed, the latter also serves whether or not it is compatible with certain frequency networks and bands.

  • iphone : A1203

Reference number

The reference number

The reference number of your iPhone gives more details on the model you have, including its color and storage capacity. You will find it in the settings of your smartphone. To have access, go to SettingsGeneralInformation.

Next to the model n ° option, you will discover an alphanumeric code starting with the letter M or N.

Design

Design

If, for any reason you find no number, know that you can identify your iPhone thanks to its design.

Compare their screen size, curved or square edge, the presence of a reception button or not, or the number of photo sensors.

iPhone 3G and 3GS iPhone

iPhone 3G and 3GS iPhone

The back of these iPhones is curved and it is made of plastic. The rear shell of the 3GS is brighter than 3G. It is also available in white.

iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S

The iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S both have the glass front and rear, their outline is made of stainless steel. They have a white and black version.

If we get attached that in design, it is difficult to distinguish them. Their main differences are therefore technical. For example, the iPhone 4S marks the arrival of the Siri vocal assistant.

The iPhone 4 has a storage space of 8, 16 or 32 GB, while the 4S also has a 64 GB version.

To check the capacity of your iPhone, go to SettingsGeneralInformation.

Its back is not aluminum, but in glass, and its storage options are 64 GB or 256 GB, against 32 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB for the 7 Plus.

The major difference is surely its double large angle -old camera with 12 MP telephoto lens.

This model is available in silver, sidereal gray colors, gold and in red edition.

iPhone X

iPhone X

The iPhone X was released in October 2017 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the American brand.

iPhone xs max test XR

The four new iPhone 13s unveiled Tuesday September 14 still cost as expensive: from 800 to 1,200 euros. They also innovate so timidly that it is tempting to turn away from it to choose an old generation model. Apple is still selling four former smartphones billed from 500 to 800 euros: the iPhone SE, 11, 12 and 12 mini.

Seveners of reconditioned smartphones offer several other oscillating references from 100 to 400 euros. But the choice is so large that it is difficult to navigate. Here we read eleven notable iPhone models released between 2016 and 2021, accompanied by a quick presentation that will help you choose the one that corresponds to your tastes and your needs. Over the years, we have tested the vast majority of them, we know their strengths and weaknesses. The most recommendable are in our eyes:

  • The 2018 iPhone XS (400 euros reconditioned)
  • The iPhone SE of 2020 (490 euros new or 350 euros reconditioned)
  • The 2020 iPhone 12 mini (690 euros new)
  • The 2020 iPhone 12 (810 euros new)

The old iPhone SE (2016): a risky bet

Reconditioned price: 90 to 140 euros

Exceeds ? Its current users are often happy with it. Thanks to its ultra-compact format and its large central button, the old man pilots with one hand with disconcerting ease. In most applications, his small screen is enough, provided you have good eyes, but he reduces the pleasure we take to play or watch videos – consult an A4 document is even quite complicated. Photo quality, although very correct, is much lower than that of the most recent iPhone.

These faults are perfectly tolerable, but the iPhone has two real weak points: its battery is running out of steam and its life expectancy asks the question. He will probably not receive any more software update, which will significantly increase the risk of hacking. And even if its menus remain today rather fluid, it could be ended up, for example when you display recent and particularly heavy websites.

It is rather for you if:

  • Photo quality is not a priority.
  • Use with one hand is your key criterion.
  • You see closely, with or without glasses.

It is not more for you if:

  • You want your smartphone to last.
  • Your fingers are not particularly fine and skillful.

The iPhone 8 (2017): always valiant

Reconditioned price: 190 to 250 euros

This smartphone costs the double of an SE of 2016 but it is a less risky choice: it will probably receive several software updates for two years and we can hope that its menus remain fluid at least as long. Versatile, compact and particularly pleasant to live in, the iPhone 8 is however less good at work and leisure than a larger mobile.

Its main competitor is the SE of 2020, a more expensive 100 euros smartphone but benefiting from a life expectancy two and a half years longer, also capturing better photos. If you take the plunge for the 8th, we advise you to place Certideal on the list of reconditioners to visit. In exchange for 20 euros, this company will change the battery of the SE, probably at the end of the race, before sending it to you.

It is rather for you if:

  • You have a modest budget.
  • You don’t like uncomfortable XL mobiles in hand.
  • You see closely, with or without glasses.

It is not more for you if:

  • You often open A4 documents.
  • You like to take night or evening photos.
  • You fall too often in battery before the end of the day.

The iPhone XS (2018): Modernity accessible

Reconditioned price: 360 to 430 euros

For a reasonable price, the XS has everything of a modern iPhone, starting with a large OLED screen that covers almost all its facade and a sensor face ID which allows it to unlock it simply presenting its face. Its curves are more pleasant in hand than the sharp edges of the iPhone 12 and 13. Complete, versatile, fast, it’s a good choice.

Special student and teachers offer

On the weaknesses side, it turns out to be a little less readable in the sun than an iPhone 13, its battery is also about 20 % less enduring. His photos are almost as good during the day, but lower at night or in poorly lit rooms. Rather durable, the iPhone XS should last three years before the first signs of aging appear. Please note, you will probably have to change your battery along the way – Apple invoices this operation 75 euros. Note, this model exists in max version, with a large screen. Count 100 euros more.

It is rather for you if:

  • Your smartphone must have a modern look and a large screen.
  • Its value for money must be excellent.

It is not more for you if:

  • You like to capture night photos.
  • You need a very enduring battery.

The iPhone 11 (2019): a certain overweight

New price: 590 euros; Reconditioned price: 490 to 600 euros

This smartphone had convinced us when it was released: its busty construction was neither graceful to look nor pleasant in hand. Its screen was small for its size and disappointing equipment for its price – an observation which remains valid today. The iPhone XS seems clearly more recommendable to us, unless you don’t trust the reconditioners: the iPhone XS is no longer available today, only the 11 is still it. Its bill is however 50 % more expensive, and you will not have the satisfaction of having acted in an eco -responsible manner by extending the life of an “old” device.

It is rather for you if:

  • You are looking for a modern look smartphone.
  • You do not trust the reconditioned mobiles.

It is not more for you if:

  • You often use your mobile in one hand.
  • You pay attention to your budget.

iPhone SE (2020): easy to live

New price: 490 euros; Reconditioned price: 300 to 380 euros

You think that innovation is skating in recent years ? Here is the best of the old world. The iPhone SE is easier to use than the most recent smartphones of Apple with its large button that allows you to return to the comfortable reception and screen margins that allow you to catch it without precautions. We reach the top of the screen with such ease, and we pilot it so quickly that we are happy that this model, compact and discreet, still exists.

But we cannot have everything: the battery of the SE is a third party less enduring than that of an iPhone 13. Its screen is also much smaller, but it is rarely really annoying, except for those who are looking at a lot of films and series with a big show, even more for frequent readers of A4 documents. A problem that worsens when you see closely and you don’t like to put on your glasses to consult your smartphone.

In the middle of the day, the photos of the SE barely worse than those of the most recent iPhone. At night, on the other hand, the gap is much more obvious. The zoom or a wide angle, which allows you to take more spectacular landscape photos.

It is rather for you if:

  • The value for money is a cardinal virtue.
  • You appreciate simplicity and serenity.
  • You fight against “desires that afflict us” conveyed by advertising.

It is not more for you if:

  • You like to take beautiful photos of your outings and your trips.
  • You need a really enduring battery.
  • You can see closely (or you don’t like to wear your glasses).

iPhone 12 mini (2020): compact and modern

New price: 690 euros; Reconditioned price: 590 to 700 euros

This smartphone is almost as comfortable in hand as an iPhone SE of 2020, a rare quality for a current smartphone. If it is a little less easy to use, it however benefits from more modern equipment: its screen occupies the whole front facade of the smartphone and displays black blacks thanks to OLED technology. We unlock him by presenting his face to him and not by fingerprint. It incorporates a 5G antenna, which may eventually become an asset if the network improves.

The photos of the 12 mini are much better when the light is missing and it takes a large angle which allows to take beautiful landscape photos. Its battery is also a little more enduring. In short, it is a mobile “on the page”. In terms of pleasure and visual comfort, however, the iPhone 12 Mini suffers from the same problem as the SE: its screen is just as narrow. Again, it is particularly annoying when you open an A4 document.

It is rather for you if:

  • You are technophile.
  • You want to be able to handle your mobile in one hand.
  • You see closely, with or without glasses.

It is not more for you if:

  • You spend your life on PDF, Doc and XLS files.
  • You are often removed from power from evening to morning.

iPhone 12 (2020): Apple standard

New price: 810 euros; Reconditioned price: 690 to 800 euros

This model is identical to the iPhone 12 Mini, with three differences: its price is 130 euros higher, its slightly more enduring battery and its significantly larger size. This size difference is both a defect – it slows its use and sometimes forces it to use it with two hands – and an asset: its screen becomes more comfortable. It makes the iPhone 12 a better choice than the mini for leisure and work. It is a very good smartphone, with a very current look, fully equipped with modern standard. But looking at him with a coldly rational mind, it seems expensive for what it offers.

It is rather for you if:

  • You are looking for an up -to -date iPhone.
  • You have a comfortable budget.

It is not more for you if:

  • You are looking for the easiest iPhone to live.
  • You consult relatively few A4 videos and documents.
  • You see closely.

iPhone 13 Mini (2021): Overkill

New price: 810 euros

Even if we have not yet had the opportunity to test the iPhone 13 Mini, its advantages seem very thin against the 12 mini: some percent of battery life in addition, a very slightly improved exterior readability, photos of photos more pleasant night – but those of the 12 are already very successful. Very few users will see the acceleration of the processor, notable only within very rare gourmet applications. The difference of 120 euros seems unjustified to us.

It is rather for you if:

  • You are looking for a compact mobile but in a point.
  • You capture a lot of photos at night or in the evening.

It is not more for you if:

  • You are attentive to the value for money.
  • In the years when Apple is not important to offer, the brand should refrain from launching new iPhone.

iPhone 13 (2021): costly improvements

New price: 910 euros

We don’t really have a reason to doubt Apple when the company Sales the assets of the iPhone 13 against 12. Its screen is certainly nothing brighter, its slightly more enduring battery and its night photos probably better than those of the 12 which, as said previously, were already of quality. These advantages do not justify, in our opinion, an additional cost of 100 euros compared to the iPhone 12, still on sale and with a decrease price. Except maybe if you capture a lot of videos with your iPhone, because the iPhone 13 is offered immediately with a 128 GB memory-an option billed 50 euros on the iPhone 12.

It is rather for you if:

  • A smartphone is certainly a tool, but also an object of desire.
  • You invest for five years.

It is not more for you if:

  • You rarely photograph the night or in the evening.
  • You do not film a crazy amount of videos.

iPhone 13 Pro (2021): the best photos

New price: 1,160 euros

The prices of the basic iPhone 13 seems already excessive, those of the “pro” models are much more so: the tariff deviation seems to be decorated with timid improvements offered. The photos of the 13 pro will certainly be the best never taken by an iPhone, especially at night, but the difference with the iPhone 13 will be spectacular ? Not necessarily, to judge by the past experience: with the iPhone 12, the gap between the pro and standard models was already quite low.

The other asset of “pro” is their refresh screen capable of climb to 120 images per second. However, this is a function far from essential because few users spontaneously note the difference. By the way, one wonders what this iPhone did to deserve the qualifier “pro” as it is little different from the standard model. Perhaps he deserves to be called iphone 13 “luxury”, as his brilliant finish attracts the eyes.

It is rather for you if:

  • You photograph a lot at night, you zoom a lot, and you are extremely demanding.
  • Money is not a problem and you like to please yourself.

It is not more for you if:

iPhone 13 pro max (2021): excess

New price: 1,260 euros

Let’s move on to its price perched at unrespirable heights, the max has the same assets as its little brother on 13 pro – better photos at night and slightly better screen – as well as an additional asset: an extended display surface. Its giant screen turns out to be pleasant for leisure and practical to work on A4 documents, but the max is paying it very dear, in terms of price as ergonomic. It is a real brick that can be difficult to handle with one hand, unless it belongs to a basketball player. With a medium -sized palm, the most skillful will only sail slowly, with an increased risk of dropping the mobile, as it is ill -balanced.

It is rather for you if:

  • You spend a lot of time on your mobile.
  • You see hard.

It is not more for you if:

  • You rarely read videos or office documents.
  • You cannot always handle your mobile with both hands.
