Trying to figure out model number of iPad 10th Gen.

Thanks for your reply, as I said in the original post there is nothing printed on the back cover of the iPad.

I have restarted the iPad a number of times as you suggested and then tried clicking on the "M" identifier again a few times hoping that the "A" number will show but it still not showing anything.

I'll try connecting it to a computer, but I have no idea how I go about finding the information once I connect the iPad.

I'd be greatful for any advice you have to add for this option.

And tgankyou for the suggested model number, I'll go with this one and hope it is correct until I can find somethink via the computer connection option.

stedman1, thanks for replying, but as I explained in my original post, I read on the Apple support website to do that, but when I click on the "M" number nothing happens.

The Apple website says that when I click on the "M" number that the "A" number will show. But this isn't happening with my grandsons iPad.

Do you have any other suggestions?

stedman1, thanks for your reply, yes I am looking in the same place, Settings > General > About > but when I get down to the model number as shown in your picture my iPad does not show an "A" and four numbers. It shows an "M" and eight digits.

And I have clicked on this "M" number on a number of occasions to reveal the "A" number as advised by quite a few people, but nothing shows up when I do, although I'm told the "A" number should show up. I've even restarted the iPad a handful of times as suggested and it didn't work.

And as stated in my original question posted I have also checked the back of the iPad, with a torch to help light it up and also with a magnifying glass to double check, and I have no writing at all on the back of the iPad, only the apple symbol in the centre.

This is why I'm so stumped. Everything that is suggested on the Apple Support website I have tried and have had no luck.

I've also looked up some other websites that list the "M" Identifier numbers as well as the "A" model numbers for every iPad from the very first ones released up to the most current, and the 10th Generation ones that have listed, there are four, all have different "M" Identifier numbers from the one that shows in my About menu, so I'm very confused.

I'm now wondering if this could possibly be a fake iPad, even though I purchased it brand new from a reputable store and it was registered for the warranty with Apple and is running using a current Apple Account.

_Switzerland_ thankyou for your reply, but as stated in my original help question tapping on the model number bar was the first thing I tried. And yes the "A" number is supposed to show when I do this.

But on this iPad when I click on the model number bar nothing at all happens.
