While unfortunately, there isn't a built-in way to see a complete history of all the iPhones you've ever owned through your Apple ID, there is a method to check which devices are currently signed in with your Apple ID.


Here's the key point: You can see a list of devices that have ever been signed in with your Apple ID on the device you're currently holding. This list is handy because it includes devices that aren't currently in use, have a dead battery, or are simply shelved away somewhere.


Here's how to find this list:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap on your name at the very top of the screen.
  3. Scroll down a bit, and you'll see a list titled something like "Devices" or "Apple ID."


This list will display all the devices currently signed in with your Apple ID, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches. You'll be able to see the device model and sometimes even the nickname you've assigned to it.


Additional considerations:

  • It's important to note that if you've manually removed a device from your account in the past, it likely won't show up on this list.
  • If you're looking for more specific information about a past iPhone, like the exact model or purchase date, you might need to check your old receipts or purchase history from the retailer where you bought it.
