what´s the difference btwn c/a and e/a?

I am guessing the last characters of the model number end with C/A or E/A. The US versions end with LL/A. According to the site in the link below, C/A would be Canada and E/A would be Mexico. Just guessing.

What country does my device belong to?

Here is the list of country codes used by Apple devices.

MB123XX/A or MC123XX/A is the device code and XX is the regional identifier. This code you can find in this list:

• AB - Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates
• B - Ireland, UK, also used for some replacement phones
• C - Canada
• CZ - Czech Republic
• DN - Austria, Germany, Netherlands
• E - Mexico
• EE - Estonia

• FD - Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland
• GR - Greece
• HN - India
• IP - Italy
• J - Japan
• KH - Korea

• LA - Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru
• LE - Argentina
• LL - USA
• LZ - Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay
• MG - Hungary

For the record: I have one that was bought in Canada but has the LL/A code, not C/A.

This is just a guess, but they may reserve the C/A for third party Canadian retailers (e.g. BestBuy or FutureShop). Mine is from an apple store. It may be similar in other countries... or maybe Canada is just close enough to the US that some of the US designated ones slip through.

Which one do you want?

Where do you see C/a or E/a?
