Where can you find the production date of your iPad?

You can deduce the production date of your iPad from the serial number. This number contains codes that provide information about the year and week of production. Online tools, such as Apple's serial number check, can help you determine the exact production date.

You will also often find the model year indicated on the 'About this iPad' page, for example: iPad (10th generation, 2022).

By checking your serial number and model name, you will get a clear picture of how old your iPad is and when it was released.
