Does anyone know how to tell the build date on the new iPhone’s? In the past I’ve used the chipmunk site or the coconut ID. They would give the build week, neither seem to work with the new phones. Thanks
Got a tip for us?

Unfortunately with the new serial format you can’t. It’s now a randomized Serial number and it’s only 10 digit rather than 12 Digit.
Thanks for the info. I noticed it only had 10 digits, wonder why they switched that up?
While your device never changes, in the past it’s always assigned, LIke you always know which factory it was made and when it was built. Apple did start doing this changes for the ipad as well.
Even easier: Go to settings / cellular data. Scroll down to the button that lets You reset the statistics. Below that is an entry which lists the last reset. This corresponds to the first analytics file named in my last post.
Are we talking about the very first analytics file or the line below "reset statistics"?
Mine was first started by me on 09/26, but had a first analytics file and last reset from 09/04...
I did update yesterday. That’ll be a real bummer if it got deleted. Can you check again after you do the update?
With the 10 Digit, coconutBattery can only read the battery manufacturing date. It won't read the build date of the phone anymore.
Basically CoconutBattery only tells the battery built date and not the manufacture date of the device. Of course, the battery manufacture date won't tell much either because the battery manufacture date and the phone build dates will always be on a different week. They aren't really on the same week at all (I have yet to see one).
As for the Analytic method, I think this may only work if you set up the device right out of the box without plugging it to the computer. Not sure.
Eitherway, I honestly don't care about the build date. I understand that sometimes the build date may help others especially when it comes to defects. But I think Apple wants to hid that from us lol.
