One digit from the Pro Max
Apple introduced the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023. Apple's "Identify your iPhone model" page (read 10 November 2026) lists 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB, in Black, White, Blue and Natural Titanium, with a 6.1-inch display. The US model number is A2848. The Pro Max, with its 6.7-inch screen, is A2849.
That one-digit gap matters when a listing says "15 Pro" and the photo shows a bigger phone. The A-number in Settings, General, About settles it in seconds, and it also tells you whether the phone was built for the US or for elsewhere.
| A-number | Sold in | Checked on FullIMEI (90 days) |
|---|---|---|
| A2848 | United States, Puerto Rico | 130 devices |
| A3102 | Other countries and regions | 21 devices |
| A3101 | Canada, Guam, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, US Virgin Islands | under 10 |
| A3104 | Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao | under 10 |
How the 130 US phones read
Counts are distinct handsets between 12 August and 10 November 2026.
| A2848 result | Devices | Share of 130 |
|---|---|---|
| Locked to a carrier we read | 27 | 21 % |
| Unlocked | 15 | 12 % |
| Unknown (lock not readable for free) | 88 | 68 % |
Twelve per cent unlocked is a touch above the 15 Pro Max at 10 %, and well above the iPhone 13. It is still a small slice, so "unlocked" in an ad deserves proof.
Checked more often abroad than at home
For the A2848, Pakistan produced 57 lookups and the United States 34. That is a gap of 23. A US-built Pro that is resold overseas may keep its original carrier restrictions, and the eSIM-only design of US phones means the new owner cannot swap in a local physical SIM.
Quick routine for a used 15 Pro
- Read the Model Number: A2848 for the US, not A2849.
- Check Capacity. A 128 GB phone cannot be a Pro Max.
- Compare the screen size: Apple lists 6.1 inches for the Pro and 6.7 for the Pro Max.
- Run the IMEI, then follow the iCloud lock steps with the seller present.

Questions people ask
What is the US model number of the iPhone 15 Pro?
Apple lists A2848 for the United States and Puerto Rico. The Pro Max is A2849, one digit higher, which is easy to misread in a listing.
Which colours and storage sizes did the 15 Pro come in?
Apple lists Black, White, Blue and Natural Titanium, with 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB. The Pro Max had no 128 GB option.
Where do I find the IMEI on a US 15 Pro?
Apple says the US model has no SIM tray. Read the number under Settings, General, About, dial *#06#, or take it from the retail box label. Outside the US, a tray on the left side holds a nano-SIM.
Is a 15 Pro often sold unlocked?
In our checks 15 of 130 US-build units read unlocked and 27 read locked. The other 88 returned unknown, because the free lookup only reads T-Mobile and Metro locks.
Why are more 15 Pro lookups made in Pakistan than in the US?
We count where the person was when they ran the check, not where the phone was sold. For the A2848 builds, 57 lookups came from Pakistan and 34 from the United States, so many US-model phones are being checked abroad.
