Identifies Apple devices from serial numbers using a local decoder script combined with web lookups. Extracts manufacturing location, date, model identifier, and basic specs from the serial format, then supplements with full specifications and warranty status from external sources. Handles old 11-12 character serials locally and directs post-2021 randomized serials to Apple's coverage checker.
Combining offline serial decoding with targeted web lookups returns results faster and with more detail than relying solely on Apple's captcha-gated coverage page.
