Secondly, every software can have bugs from time to time and can display incorrect info. Just download the tables and compare the codes yourself.<\/p>\n<p>You might get a bit overwhelmed and think it may be complicated to figure this out. Trust us\u2026 it is very simple!<\/p>\n<p>This is the 12-character alphanumeric serial number used by Apple after 2010. Let\u2019s put it this way:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>LLL YW III MMMM<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the real serial number looks differently, but I used these letters on purpose.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first three digits represent the manufacturing Location.<\/li>\n<li>The next two indicate the year and week of manufacture.<\/li>\n<li>The next three digits stand for a unique identifier.<\/li>\n<li>The last four digits represent the model number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The manufacturing location is represented with the alphanumeric code. The complete list of factories is hard to obtain, but most locations are known. Usually, the China-based factories are marked both with letters and digits while other Asian, American, and European factories are given alphabetical codes often after the first letters of the place. The letters RM stand for ReManufactured or refurbished.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Code<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Factory<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>FC<\/td>\n<td>Fountain Colorado, USA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>F<\/td>\n<td>Fremont, California, USA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>XA, XB, QP, G8<\/td>\n<td>USA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RN<\/td>\n<td>Mexico<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CK<\/td>\n<td>Cork, Ireland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>VM<\/td>\n<td>Foxconn, Pardubice, Czech Republic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SG, E<\/td>\n<td>Singapore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MB<\/td>\n<td>Malaysia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>PT, CY<\/td>\n<td>Korea<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>EE, QT, UV<\/td>\n<td>Taiwan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>FK, F1, F2<\/td>\n<td>Foxconn \u2013 Zhengzhou, China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>W8<\/td>\n<td>Shanghai China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>DL, DM<\/td>\n<td>Foxconn \u2013 China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>DN<\/td>\n<td>Foxconn, Chengdu, China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>YM, 7J<\/td>\n<td>Hon Hai\/Foxconn, China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1C, 4H, WQ, F7<\/td>\n<td>China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>C0<\/td>\n<td>Tech Com \u2013 Quanta Computer Subsidiary, China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>C3<\/td>\n<td>Foxxcon, Shenzhen, China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>C7<\/td>\n<td>Pentragon, Changhai, China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RM<\/td>\n<td>Refurbished\/remanufactured<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Apple Facility of Manufacture Codes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The year of manufacture is also encrypted by an alphabet code starting with the letter C. Apple splits the year in halves because the company is famous for introducing silent upgrades every six months or so. Also, the changes in the downstream supply chain can occur. So, the fourth character of the serial number shows the year the device was manufactured in, and if it was in the first or second half of the year. The range loops every decade. For example, H can stand for the first half of 2012 and it will represent the first half of 2022 as well. See the table below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Code<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Release<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>C<\/td>\n<td>2010 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>D<\/td>\n<td>2010 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>F<\/td>\n<td>2011 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>G<\/td>\n<td>2011 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>H<\/td>\n<td>2012 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>J<\/td>\n<td>2012 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>K<\/td>\n<td>2013 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>L<\/td>\n<td>2013 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>M<\/td>\n<td>2014 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>N<\/td>\n<td>2014 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>P<\/td>\n<td>2015 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Q<\/td>\n<td>2015 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>R<\/td>\n<td>2016 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>S<\/td>\n<td>2016 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>T<\/td>\n<td>2017 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>V<\/td>\n<td>2017 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>W<\/td>\n<td>2018 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>X<\/td>\n<td>2018 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Y<\/td>\n<td>2019 (1st half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Z<\/td>\n<td>2019 (2nd half)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Apple Date of Manufacture Codes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The fifth character stands for the week in which the device was manufactured. Yes, Apple is very meticulous about it. Here the company uses both letters and digits. The first through ninth weeks are represented with digits from 1 through 9. For the tenth through twenty-seventh weeks the letters C through Y are used, excluding the vowels A, E, I, O, and U, and the letter S.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if the year is C and the week is F, then your device was produced in the first half of the year 2010, week 12. H9 gives us the first half of the year 2012, week 9.<\/p>\n<p>For devices manufactured in the second half of the year it\u2019s a bit tricky. The weeks are encrypted with digits starting with 28 through 52.<\/p>\n<p>Each Apple device manufactured in the same location and during the same week of the same year get a unique identifier that is represented with the next three digits. It\u2019s starting to look more and more like a person\u2019s ID, isn\u2019t it? Let\u2019s see what the last digits can tell us.<\/p>\n<p>The last four digits of the serial number represent the product\u2019s model. The number of models of Apple products is too huge to list their codes in one table, so here you have to search for them online. It\u2019s an easy thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhones serial numbers also contain information about the device\u2019s color and storage capacity. For Apple smartphones released after 2010, the information is encrypted in the final four digits of the serial number. The ninth, tenth, and eleventh characters represent the iPhone\u2019s model and color, and the last character represents the iPhone\u2019s storage capacity.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Apple_product_manufacturing_date_2010_to_2021\">Apple product manufacturing date 2010 to 2021<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The following table lists the production dates of Apple electronic products.
