Independent device database

Download the attributed model catalog (JSON gzip). Includes source notices and model claims; excludes private reports and sources awaiting rights review.

Model information and device status are different

A specification record describes a model. Storage and color lists are options, not the configuration of the phone in your hand. An IMEI checksum or model match cannot establish authenticity, a carrier unlock, ownership, warranty or theft status.

Where the records come from

Model specifications are attributed to AppleDB contributors (MIT), the LineageOS Wiki (CC BY-SA 3.0), and Wikidata contributors (CC0). TAC claims come from Osmocom (CC BY-SA 3.0). This public catalog excludes datasets with unresolved upstream reuse rights from its public answers. Community records can contain errors or omit variants.

Checking a particular phone

Run the IMEI checker for browser-only validation and TAC identification. No live device-evidence service is connected to this deployment. Lock, theft and warranty statuses remain unknown; use the linked official checks.

Official organization access applies only to devices in that organization's inventory. No universal free public IMEI-to-lock or theft feed is connected. Privacy and retention.
