I think maybe you're seeing the date of the version of iOS it is running. All you have to do is Google the model number LASER-engraved on the back of it; there are shedloads of sites devoted to itemizing and cataloguing in teeth-aching detail everything Apple has ever made. My Daughter's A1893 6th Gen 9.7" iPad is often confused with the iPad Air 2; it can in fact be used with that model Otterbox.

There's an app called Mactracker (desktop and mobile) that makes it painless to check all the minutiae of which model is which, what it supports and so on.

Edit: although it's called Mactracker, it in fact goes right back to the Apple I.

mnementh:
Why would I install a app for such a trivial thing?

Typing A1893 into any open browser tab gives me oodles of hits; I just look for the one from everymac.com :

https://everymac.com/systems/apple/ipad/specs/apple-ipad-9-7-inch-6th-gen-early-2018-a1893-wi-fi-only-specs.html

The only thing that page doesn't tell me is the size of the storage on my particular unit; and I know I splurged for the 128GB model.

There's a un-app for dat.  ;)

I have two problems with gas.

1)

Look at the efficiency of my gas water heater:



I can't sleep at night when I thing that 38% of my DHW gas (bill) is going to heat up the sky/stars.

2)



BTW: I adore climate town YT channel.

That's why I am switching to a Rheem Pro Terra

YMMV but consider security/risk first. The real cheapskate can see the horizon, knows what is going to cost them everything in the long run and doesn't care about the best priced bananas in the supermarket or the 70€ android because they are insignificant really. The cheapskate is only scared of unexpected expenses, uncalculated risks and unreliable technology.

It is my understanding that the iPhone 7 was released Sept 2016 so is already 2 years older so will have the same issues?

Nothing like it. The previous model, the iPhone 6s (first sold sept 2015, end of sale sept 2018), runs the current version of iOS and is still getting updates. The iPhone 7 was introduced a year later and discontinued 2019. Apple guarantee at least four years of updates from end of sale and the previous two models got five and six years of updates respectively. So the iPhone 7 has got at least until Sept 2023 to run, and quite likely as far out as 2025.

I don't know what you're saying about the iPad as there was no iPad Air on sale in 2018. There was the iPad Air 2 with an end of sale in 2017, and the iPad Air 3 which wasn't on sale before March 2019. However, both are currently supported on the latest version of iOS and are receiving updates to this day. Only the original iPad Air (EOS March 2016) has fallen off the update cycle, limited to iOS 12.5.5.

I googled how to tell the age of my iPad and followed the instructions and was told to navigate to the General tab, where it gives me the model name and model number, serial number and the software version. There it gives me that model as being iPad Air currently running the latest iOS software of 12.5.5. Then the google site said to navigate to Legal tab, then onto Regulatory tab and then scroll down to very bottom and there almost hidden from view (in a ink colour designed to be hard to read) is the date of manufacture and that date is 2018-02-06. So that is where that information came from.

That sounds like an original iPad Air if it's stuck at iOS 12.5.5, which was on sale from Oct 2013 March to March 2016 The manufacturing date could be later (e.g. warranty replacement 'parts' units as opposed to 'sales' units) but that's not the year that one would use in describing the model). What's the model number physically printed on the back of the machine? A1447?

--- End quote ---
Yes indeed it is an iPad Air 1, model is A1474 as printed on the back cover, but according to the model number in the settings menu it is MD768B/B for which I can find zero information.

EDIT:
All the information I can find for the model number A1474 is that the other model name/number is MD785LL/A   :wtf: :o
