Hello, Comrades! You can find a few websites which provide serial number decoding: some are free, some are not.
I wanted to get a list of the serial numbers and build a correspondence table where you could easily identify model and family (it looks like it is coded into last 4 digits). I will use this data to help my customers identify their macs on my website, and I am willing to share it with anyone on request. My current method is this: I receive about 50 macs for repair monthly and store all serials in the table (currently it's a few hundred long).
Then I look them up on one of the available databases and search for the similarities. I came up with a few correspondences already: any serial which ends with DRVC is a mid-12 MacBook Air 13'. I am looking for any relevant input on the matter (serial number arrays or any ready-made solutions are mostly welcome:) ). They didn't actually abandoned it. There's no other way to get model-modification data but in those last four digits. You can check by yourself, the test is simple: take two serials which accord to different modifications (but belongs to the same serial number generation, i.e.
EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup - lookup Apple Mac, iPod, iPhone and iPad specs by serial number, order number, model number, model ID, EMC number and more. API to find specs of a mac by serial number. Discussion in 'OS X Mavericks (10.9)' started by Bolzenheim, Dec 5. I know 'everymac.com' and the normal apple support coverage tool but, AFAIK none of them provides an official API. A web search on 'mac serial number breakdown' brought up several links that say how to break down the serial.
Both are from 2010 or before 2010), exchange the last four bits between them and voila, you will have results where the modification data will be exchanged accordingly. This has been done not twice, but at least 10 times, but you can't get the actual data anywhere. Here I am asking for a contribution/advice for my table which I am willing to share with others!
