Three lenses, steel band, ProMotion
Apple introduced the iPhone 13 Pro in 2021. Apple's "Identify your iPhone model" page (read 10 November 2026) describes a 6.1-inch display with ProMotion, a textured matte glass back, a flat stainless steel band, three 12 MP cameras, a LiDAR Scanner and a nano-SIM tray on the left side. Capacities were 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB, in graphite, gold, silver, sierra blue and alpine green.
The 1 TB option is a handy sanity check. The ordinary iPhone 13 stopped at 512 GB, so a listing that says "13 Pro 1 TB" can be real while a "13 1 TB" cannot. Look at the lenses first, then the capacity line in Settings.

What the 116 US lookups returned
Counts are distinct handsets seen between 12 August and 10 November 2026.
| A2483 result | Devices | Share of 116 |
|---|---|---|
| Locked to a carrier we read | 28 | 24 % |
| Unlocked | under 10 | under 9 % |
| Unknown (lock not readable for free) | 80 | 69 % |
A quarter reading locked is almost identical to the plain iPhone 13. What sets the Pro apart is the small unlocked group: with fewer than ten confirmed, "factory unlocked" is a claim to verify, not a default.
Where the checks come from
Pakistan produced 33 lookups on the A2483 and the United States 30, a rare case where the home market is not in front. The Pro is a premium phone that is often resold across borders, and a US-built unit keeps whatever carrier terms it left with. Ask where a phone was bought before you trust the seller's word that it is clear.
Checks to make in the seller's hand
- Count the cameras and look for the LiDAR dot, which the plain 13 does not have.
- Open Settings, General, About, then compare Model Number (A2483 for the US) and the IMEI with the tray.
- Scroll a long page. Apple lists ProMotion on the 13 Pro, so the motion should look smooth, not stepped.
- Run the lookup, then a blacklist check before any money moves.

Questions people ask
What is the US model number of the iPhone 13 Pro?
Apple lists A2483 for the United States. Canada, Japan, Mexico and Saudi Arabia use A2636, mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao use A2639, five ex-Soviet markets use A2640, and everything else is A2638.
How do I tell a 13 Pro from a plain iPhone 13?
Count the lenses. The 13 Pro has three on the back plus a LiDAR dot, and a stainless steel band. The iPhone 13 has two lenses and an aluminium band. A 1 TB capacity also only exists on the Pro.
Where is the IMEI on an iPhone 13 Pro?
Apple says it is etched on the SIM tray on the left side. Settings, General, About and *#06# show the same digits, so all three should agree.
Does the free check tell me if a 13 Pro is carrier locked?
Only for phones tied to T-Mobile or Metro. Of 116 US units we looked at, 28 returned a lock and 80 came back unknown. Unknown means "not a lock we can read", not "unlocked".
Why do people in Pakistan check so many US iPhone 13 Pros?
We only see where the lookup was made. For the A2483, 33 came from Pakistan and 30 from the United States, so a lot of US-built Pros are being checked by buyers abroad, often before an import.
