Want to find out the exact purchase date of your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or even AirPods? You’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know.
Knowing this information can be useful for warranty claims, reselling your device, or just keeping track of your Apple products.
Here’s how you can do it using multiple methods.
Check the purchase date of Apple products
Use Apple’s website
- Go to checkcoverage.apple.com in any web browser.
- Enter your device’s serial number.

Don’t know your device’s serial number? Here’s how you can find it.
- iPhone and iPad: Go to Settings -> General -> About.
- Mac: Click on the Apple logo from the menu bar -> About this Mac.
- Apple Watch: Settings -> General -> About.
- AirPods: Connect them to the iPhone. Then go to Settings -> Bluetooth -> Tap on the ‘i’ button.
Use Apple ID
You can also check the exact purchase date of your Apple device through your Apple ID. Use Apple’s website or the official Apple Store app to do so.
- Launch the Apple Store app and tap on your profile picture.
- From the profile page, tap on the ‘Orders’ option.
- On the next page, you will find a list of your Apple orders and their dates.
Keep in mind that if you bought your Apple device from a third-party retailer like Amazon or a carrier, then you will only find an estimated purchase date on Apple’s website. You can get the exact purchase date by checking the original receipt from the seller or their website.
There you have it, this is how you can find the purchase date of your Apple devices.
