IOS Device Serial List

iosipadipodserial number

Does anyone know of a list of iOS serial numbers that marries the respective device types to the last 3 characters of the device serial? I know there are query sites out there where you can pump in the entire serial number but I'm looking for a comprehensive list that accounts for all models and sub-models.

In example:

  • CP7 –> iPod 4th Gen
  • FHW –> iPad 2nd Gen
  • 196 –> iPad Mini 1st Gen

I'm trying to avoid compiling this for all devices in my environment but I can't seem to find anything that already exists.
