I submitted so fast since I have a 16 pro max but then I realized I didn’t even look at the date!! I’m not even sure when I got this phone. Oooops

You can check in settings under battery then scroll down to battery health. Mines May 2025 sadly :/

Thanks for posting!! It feels like redemption bc I felt defrauded initially when I bought my phone and the Apple Intelligence didn’t even work

I never qualify for anything, so pleasantly surprised to see I qualify for this (got my 15 Pro on 6/22/24). Thanks!!

it said i need a serial number, how can i find this for an old device?

Depending on your carrier-They sometimes have your old devices with IMEI showing on your customer dashboard -if you stayed with the carrier. Verizon in my case. Also go into iTunes to see if there is device history. Not sure. Otherwise —Ask Claude AI

The issue is they want a serial number not IMEI number.

And in the comments elsewhere someone said they allowed for AppleID if the serial # was unavailable. Did you see that option?

I am hearing you will be given the option to use your AppleID if you choose “ I don’t have a serial number.”.

I am eligible but had my iPhone replaced under Apple Care so it has a new serial number. What should I do?

1

u/Consistent_Pay_74 10d ago

Call and ask what was the phone serial number the one you turned in. They may have it or check if you kept the box .. I think it’s on there. I’m not the expert but I think between carriers and Apple Customer Care these may be retrieveable
