MacBook Air 13.6" Hard Shell Case with Keyboard Cover (M2 / M3 / M4 / M5)

You do not have to take our word for it. Apple lets anyone look up any device, and it takes about a minute. Do it in the shop before you pay if you like — we would rather you did.

1. 1

   Get the serial number or IMEI

   Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner and choose About This Mac. The serial number is shown there, and you can select it to copy.

   It is also printed on the barcode label of the original box, so you can check a sealed unit without opening it.

2. 2

   Enter it on Apple’s own checker

   Go to checkcoverage.apple.com and type the serial in. This is Apple’s site, not ours.

3. 3

   Read what it tells you

   Apple confirms the model it holds against that serial and whether repair and support coverage is active. If the model shown is not the model you are buying, walk away — from us or from anyone.

   One thing that surprises people: on a brand-new sealed device, Apple often reports that the purchase date has not been validated yet. That is normal and it is not a red flag — the clock starts when the device is activated or when proof of purchase is supplied. Your iTey Store receipt is that proof, so keep it.

Every Apple device we sell is brand new, sealed and never activated, sourced through licensed distributors, and carries the manufacturer warranty. If a check ever comes back wrong on something you bought from us, bring it back.
