Hey guys, recently acquired an Iphone from a family member with a swollen battery (don’t want to risk turning it on) and was wondering how can I identify what model it is without turning it on? (not even sure if it can).
Any Ideas?
thanks!

Hi Daniel,
Pop out the sim tray, the IMEI of the device should be laser etched into it. use https://www.imei.info/ to ascertain which model your family member has.
My honest opinion would be to take it to apple. normally they would take the phone from you, replacing it for the cost of a battery replacement.
Hope this helps!

Thanks! I’ve done plenty swollen battery replacements so far so I’m sure I can handle the challenge. Our local and only apple reseller won’t accept it because it was badly damaged in an attempted mugging. Broke the screen and back panel, and my uncle got then replaced at a very low quality repair service (no TrueTone). So if I want to salvage it I will have to do it myself.
