Model Number Identification

I have run across an iPad Air 2 for sale privately that is still factory sealed however the number shown on the label does not match anything I can find online so am concerned about the purchase. Perhaps it is intended for another country or even continent but not sure how to find out. It is also a cellular model so don't want something that maybe was meant for China and couldn't be activated in NA. The number shown on the label is PGWL2CL/A. All of the iPads I have seen start with an M. I thought perhaps that number didn't mean anything but checked the box my iPad 4 came in and the number on the box starts with an M and matches the number shown under settings>general>about.

Would appreciate if someone can help he out.

Thanks

iPad Air, iOS 9.3.1, null

That does not seem to be an iPad number - can you ask for the IMEI or serial number and check?

I have a picture of the label with the serial number and IMEI and UPC etc but not sure if it is wise to post it. The IMEI is *************. The label says PGWL2CL/A iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi Cellular 128GB Space Gray. Below that is the serial number, IMEI, UPC and a DN number.

Thank you

Check it here

It would appear that this is a legitimate unlocked device

By the way - I requested the hosts to remove the IMEI number - I did not mean for you to post it here

I meant - ask for it and check it yourself

FWIW

You can try checking both the serial number and IMEI here:

https://checkcoverage.apple.com/us/en

From that url, It appears to be an iPad Air 2 with Apple Care + . Seems to be covered until December 2017. which would indicate it was originally bought in December of 2015.

The Model number does not seem to match any known iPad however so it's possible the label is simply wrong.

Thanks for the reply and link.

I talked to Apple and that number means it was engraved but they have no idea what was engraved on it.
