Removed models
Dialexio, you removed some models. I created the list based on infos in this wiki. I didn't know though if every storage size exists with every color and every combination with both bootroms. Based on what info did you remove the non-existent rows? It seems you removed too many of them. I just saw that my old 3GS, black, new bootrom, 32GB, is a MC133 and is no more listed. Can you please re-check those you removed? Thanks. -- http 07:43, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Whoops. For some reason, I was thinking that only 8 GB units had the new bootrom at that time. :s -- Dialexio 15:37, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Another model number
I think on this page we should also add the other model numbers (like the A1332 for the iPhone 4 black) somehow. How are they related? -- http 15:24, 13 October 2011 (MDT)
 * They are added in the meantime. --http 00:28, 31 October 2012 (MDT)

iPhone 4S
According to the iFitIt Teardown, the model number for the iPhone 4S is A1387... --5urd 07:23, 14 October 2011 (MDT)
 * For which 4S model? Color, memory? Or for all the same? Do you know more? -- http 10:59, 14 October 2011 (MDT)
 * Well, the teardown is black... I am guessing sinse they dont use the devices, it would be 8GB... But A1387 sounds like the hardware model, not the device model that starts with  or  ... So all iPhone 4S's may be A1387... --5urd 15:37, 14 October 2011 (MDT)
 * I also have an A1387. I would like to add this number in the list as well. But currently I have no infos. We don't know if this model is different for different memory, color, bootrom, production facility, or for what. Please post here, if you know more or if you have other numbers. This number is engraved on the phone itself (backside). There's also a code "EMC 2430". Let us know if you have a different number there. -- http 05:05, 23 December 2011 (MST)
 * My A1387 is also EMC 2430. It's a black AT&T 16GB beej 09:24, 23 December 2011 (MST)

 * Yeah. -- Dialexio 00:41, 10 March 2012 (MST)

Cutting up the table
In direct contrast to what I'd like to do on the Firmware page, I would like to divide this table by device type. I feel that it'd be a bit easier to maintain (and perhaps find information) if we had different tables for Apple TVs, iPads, iPad minis(?), iPhones, and iPod touches. -- Dialexio 22:22, 30 October 2012 (MDT)
 * I would like to keep the basic structure of the table as it is. But yes, it may be separated by device type, as this is the left-most column and therefore wouldn't change anything. --http 00:24, 31 October 2012 (MDT)
 * Done --5urd 16:32, 31 October 2012 (MDT)

iPhone 5 China
Please see Apple KB HT3939. There is no GSM model it is just CDMA. --iAdam1n (talk) 08:37, 8 January 2013 (UTC) That's just my though here. The only exception here would be if the China iPhone 5 didn't work with both iPhone5,1 and iPhone5,2 firmwares, but it does (iPhone5,2). --5urd (talk) 18:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps this topic requires more information, particularly from somebody with an A1442 iPhone. At this time, there are two carriers in China that offer the iPhone: China Telecom and China Unicom. Apple's online store suggests they have two models: the China Unicom model is GSM-unlocked, while the China Telecom model (the one with the new ME model numbers) is locked. Since China Telecom's model is locked and they have a CDMA network, it may be possible that the A1442 model is a CDMA-only variant. However, http://www.apple.com.cn/iphone/specs.html does mention that all models have support for various HSPA technologies, and it doesn't seem plausible for Apple to go out of their way to remove GSM functionality from a design that can already handle GSM and CDMA connections. Plus, it's not entirely clear if it can actually be unlocked in the future (a la Verizon and the iPhone 4S). -- Dialexio ( talk ) 09:57, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * That is strange as the two website contradict each other. I think we should wait for someone with one too. --iAdam1n (talk) 11:48, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Let me provide some insight on the internals here. Internally, the baseband chip is able to support both GSM and CDMA. It's up to the baseband firmware to choose what to use. There are two IPSWs for each release as one contains the baseband firmware to support the GSM LTE bands in the United States. The other (Global) contains the baseband firmware to support the GSM bands outside of the United States and the CDMA bands across the world (where the iPhone 5 has been release). This means that all devices support GSM. So, even if the device was released in China where it is only CDMA (and the device was modified to only work on China CDMA), the Global firmware still contains GSM support.

iPhone 5s China
There are also currently at least two 5s versions in China (http://store.apple.com/cn/buy-iphone/iphone5s)
 * WCDMA/GSM iPhone A1528 (for China Unicom ??)
 * iPhone A1533 (for China Telecom ??)

Just as reference I have a A1457 (got it in Germany), but it will not connect to the new 4G LTE in China Mobile network (even so I have a LTE sim card). According to China Mobile the A1530 (Hongkong version) can be used possibly in LTE (China Mobile) mode.--M2m (talk) 08:10, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Finding new devices.
I was wondering how do you find the new device numbers like iPhone5,2? I know there is an info.plist but I'm not sure where it is located. Does this one update itself or what? --iAdam1n (talk) 18:31, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Connector
So how do we add the iAccy1,2, A1438, with the S5L8747 everywhere? It's not running iOS, but still belongs into this wiki I think. --http (talk) 00:58, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that setting up the adapter's page similarly to the baseband pages (at iAccy1,2? I don't think it belongs on the SoC's page) would work best. The page can have a blurb about the accessory, a list of known firmware versions, and then the OTA updates. -- Dialexio ( talk ) 01:41, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Bootrom versions.
How do w check the bootrom version of A5+? --iAdam1n (talk) 23:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The same way as always: DFU Mode. The S5L8942 (at least the one found in the Apple TV 3G) doesn't report a bootrom version, however. -- Dialexio ( talk ) 00:09, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * System Profiler on Mac does not show it for iPod touch 5. --iAdam1n (talk) 00:15, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

iPhone3,2
Do we actually know that these are model numbers for the iPhone3,2, or is this just blind speculation like what happened with identifying the S5L8947? -- Dialexio ( talk ) 22:24, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * From store.apple.com. They are legit. --iAdam1n (talk) 22:53, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * They could still be iPhone3,1 models though… The iPad2,4 case was about this simple, but Apple likes using a lot of various model numbers for each iPhone (much more than an iPad, anyways). Maybe I'm being too paranoid about this though. (Something to note is that some of the listed model numbers overlap with the iPhone3,1.) -- Dialexio ( talk ) 04:12, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Deleted them. I just left the ME as they are different. --iAdam1n (talk) 07:49, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

iPhone BRD (board) Versions!
As a hardware technician i found there are different version of BRD (board) layout of component placement. iPhone 5S 1st:820-3382 from EU 2nd:820-3292 from US There is a third version of layout but i never see it. iPhone 5C 1st:820-3581 from EU 2nd:820-3928 from US
 * oh? what exactly changed between the two models? --Haifisch (talk) 20:31, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
