iPhones and iPads are commonly known by their marketing names. For example, you might be familiar with iPhone 14 Pro Max or iPad Air 5th Generation, but do you know there’s another name of your iOS device that you might not be familiar with.
Apple gives all of its devices their specific model names. Such as the iPhone 14 Pro Max is known as ‘A2651’ while iPhone 12 Pro Max is known as ‘A2411’.
