How do I know how old my iPad is?

Answered by Willie Powers

To determine the age of your iPad, you can easily find the information in the settings menu of your device. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you locate the date your iPad was sold:

1. Unlock your iPad and go to the home screen.
2. Locate the “Settings” app, which is represented by a gear icon. Tap on it to open the settings menu.
3. In the settings menu, you will find various options. Look for the “General” tab and tap on it.
4. Within the General settings, scroll down until you find the “Legal & Regulatory” section.
5. Tap on “Legal & Regulatory” to access more details.
6. Once you are in the Legal & Regulatory section, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.
7. At the bottom, you will see a label that says “Model Number.” Right below that, you will find the date your iPad was sold listed in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

For example, if the date listed is 2020-05-15, it means your iPad was sold on May 15th, 2020.

It’s important to note that the date listed here represents the sale date of your iPad, which may not necessarily be the exact manufacturing date. However, it still gives you a good indication of how old your device is.

If you are unable to find the sale date in the Legal & Regulatory section, you can also check the original purchase receipt or contact Apple Support for more assistance.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you find the age of your iPad easily.
