The model number field has two numbers. One is the broad model number for all units in that range. This will be A2482 for a US iPhone 13 but A2633 for an iPhone 13 in other places. It changes between regions.

The other number, I'm given to understand, refers to physical characteristics of the unit: colour, and storage for example. Mine is MLPF3X/A

Apple has a list of iPhone models which makes interesting reading for the spotters. See Identify your iPhone model - Apple Support
