Can someone tell me how I can identify which generation I have? I can find the model, serial, and version in settings but when I try to search online for the generation using that info, I can only find models that start with "A" and my model is MD786LL/A. Can anyone tell me how or where I can look this up to find my model's generation? Thanks.
iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi
Yeah I did do a search for the model number MD786LL/A, which I found under settings, but could not find anything on that model number. And the link you gave I also had looked there but it also doesn't show the model MD786LL/A. Come to find out there is another model number for the device on the back side of the device, which is "A1474". According to that, it should be 5th generation. (I think)

That is an iPad Air first generation
Nope, not a 5th generation device. It is as I stated earlier, an iPad Air first generation. That model was first released in November 2013. When you bought it, I have no idea.
One of the simplest ways is to copy the model number you posted and paste it into your preferred web browser search bar. It will find links to the model. There is also a model lookup site you can use: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201471
Ok, thanks. Can you tell me how I can look this up for myself for the future? I know at some point I will misplace it and would like to know how to relocate the answer.
You're welcome. In Apple Speak however, the 5th generation iPad was released in 2017. iPad Air First Generation, is not considered a 5th generation iPad. I know.........confusing!
Ok, I see what you are saying. It's the 1st Generation of the iPad Air version. I was just saying it's the 5th Generation of the iPads in general. And yes, it came out in 2013. Thanks so much for the help!
