Paste a model identifier like iPad12,1, or a name like “iPad 9th generation”, to get the real model, the date Apple released it, and an estimated end of support for planning. Free, no signup, covers 139 identifiers across iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air, iPad Pro, iPhone.
| Model identifier | iPad13,4 |
| Family | iPad Pro |
| Released by Apple | May 21, 2021 (about 5.3 years ago) |
| Estimated end of support | May 21, 2028Estimate |
Release date is when Apple began selling this model, not when your district bought it. End of support is an estimate from the typical update window for the iPad Pro family, not an Apple announcement.
Apple publishes model identifiers in its “Identify your iPad” and “Identify your iPhone” support articles, and every MDM (Jamf, Mosyle, Intune) exports the identifier alongside the marketing name. This tool maps that identifier to the model name and the date Apple shipped it. The end-of-support date is the release date plus the number of years the family has typically received updates, which makes it a planning estimate rather than a fact, and it is labelled that way.
It does not decode serial numbers. Apple randomised serials around 2021, so a serial no longer says which model it is. It also will not guess: an identifier it does not carry returns nothing, because a wrong release date silently ages a device in a budget forecast, which is worse than a blank a person can see and fill in.
The identifier this tool uses, such as iPad12,1, is what MDMs like Jamf and Mosyle export as "Model Identifier". On the device itself, Settings → General → About shows the Model Name, which you can paste here instead (for example "iPad 9th generation").
No. Apple randomised serial numbers around 2021, so a serial no longer encodes the model. Use the model identifier from your MDM export, or the model name from Settings → General → About.
Not with this tool. A part number such as MK2K3LL/A also encodes colour, capacity, and region, and an A-number like A2602 maps to several identifiers. Paste the model identifier your MDM exports, or the marketing name.
The release date plus the number of years that product family has typically received software updates: about six for iPad and iPhone, seven for iPad Pro. It is a planning estimate, not an Apple announcement, and it is labelled as one wherever it appears.
No. Chromebooks have a published Auto Update Expiration (AUE) date from Google rather than an estimate. Edventory tracks AUE on every Chromebook record and feeds it into the replacement forecast alongside the Apple estimates.
Edventory identifies every Apple device in your inventory at once, fills the release date and estimated end of support, and feeds them into a replacement budget forecast next to Chromebook AUE dates. Free for up to 100 devices and 100 students.
