This makes sense since some products, like the Mac, currently have the serial number etched into the computer itself. Existing products will maintain the old format, however. For assistance with TSDR, email and include your serial number, the document you are looking for, and a screenshot of any error messages you. The company says that the new serial numbers will get 10 characters long instead of the 14-digit serial numbers that currently exist. Apple said the serial number format transition is scheduled for "early 2021," and confirmed that IMEI numbers will not be affected by this change. In an internal AppleCare email this week, obtained by MacRumors, Apple said the new serial number format will consist of a randomized alphanumeric string of 8-14 characters that will no longer include manufacturing information or a configuration code.
It appears that future Apple products will all be switching over to randomized serial numbers.Īs reported by MacRumors, the company plans to remove the manufacturing information and configuration code that is currently used to put together a product's serial number and instead generate a random alphanumeric string.
