What device do I have?
You can probably distinguish between iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. But it gets more difficult to differentiate between the different generations of the device. And even within the same device it is sometimes important to know what bootrom version you have.
From left to right; an iPod Touch second generation, an iPhone 3GS and a iPad first generation.
Visual differences
There is currently only three generation. They differ only by their options (with or without 3G and memory size). The firmware (with or without 3G) does differ. The second generation iPad is thinner, lighter and has a front and back facing cameras. The third generation iPad has the same looks as the second generation iPad but is a tad bit thicker and heavy with a retina screen. The third and second generations iPad come in both white and black.
iPhone
The first generation iPhone (sometimes called 2G version) can be detected by the two colors (plastic and metal) on the back side. The iPhone 4 can be clearly detected by the metal frame on the outer edges. The iPhone 4S has both the metal frame on the outer edges the iPhone 4S’ mute button and the volume keys are raised just a little bit compared to the older model, it is quite a minute difference. The iPhone 4 come in both CDMA and GSM the CMDA model has no SIM slot, while the GSM model has a SIM slot. But with only one break in the antenna at the top, and the 4S has a SIM slot and a break at both the top and the bottom of the side antenna. Both the iPhone 4S and 4 come in both white and black. The 3G and 3GS are pretty similar from the outside, it comes in both white and black.
iPod touch
The first generation iPod touch has round edges, but a flat backside.Newer models (2nd, 3rd, 4th generation) have a slightly round backside (not completely flat). The 4th Generation iPod Touch is a tad bit thinner, with both a front and back facing camera, it comes in both white and black.
Model numbers
You can see the model number in Settings>General>About>Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved). For example MC605B is the model MC605 and B is for the region.
