The iPhone Q&A answers "What are all the differences between the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 7? Which is best?" and "How fast are the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus compared to one another and earlier iPhone models?" and much more about the latest devices as well as all earlier models.

The iPad Q&A answers "What are the main differences between the current iPad Air and iPad mini models? Which is for me?" and "Which iPad models support iOS 10? Which features are supported?" along with dozens of other questions about the iPad series.

Additionally, EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional identifiers for the latest iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch models — as well as other Macs and devices — from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contributed info from recent purchases. It's appreciated.

If you bought, or buy, a new iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, please send in your serial number. Non-personal information will be added to EveryMac.com to help with model identification and differentiation. Thank you.
