As long as it is not a refurb you can do it by the serial number the 3rd,4th,5th numbers show year and week of the year. As I said though it doesn't work with refurb serial numbers.

Yep, that is how it works, refurbs seem to have their serial number changed as they will be given to a new user so it is not of use for them.
On the 3GS they all seemed to start the first 2 digits with 5K. Jun 12, AM in response to wjosten In response to wjosten. Jun 12, AM. Question: Q: How to check the the real age of iphone More Less. Communities Get Support.

Question: Q: Question: Q: How to check the the real age of iphone Hi, everyone I had buy an iphone recently the thing is that i want to know the real age of iphone it is a iphone 3gs is there any way to know the real age it will be the great help.
More Less. Even if it is brand new, as the seller claims! Nostalgia is a big marketing trick. Hollywood has been using nostalgia to make billions in bank for decades.
And it came with all the original accessories as well. Simple: it had a load laying around in its warehouse, so rather than selling them on eBay, it tapped the nostalgia vein of the masses and began selling off the old stock at a discounted rate. SK Telink tested all the dusty, old units too. And apparently they all worked just fine. Yes, of course, you could. So long as you had a battery that had power left in it, the iPhone 3GS would turn on and work.
However, actually running the phone might be more problematic on account of its minuscule CPU and memory. I mean, just look at this spec sheet:. Not having these things in place will cause plenty of performance issues with your apps — things like hangs, crashes, and other glitches.
And it is this spec that will make using the phone for anything beyond calls and texts an absolute nightmare. Hell, even then it might be a bit of a slog…. Moral of the story? Old iPhones are still iPhones. And people will pay massive amounts of money for them.
And there are a number of not-so-well-known ways of doing this. Me personally? Not too shabby, right? Whenever you think about the iPhone 3GS, you have to do it with the right context in mind.
Right now, the iPhone 3GS looks ancient and dated. But back in , it was something of a trailblazer — from the way it looked to the technology it ran inside it. Android was around then too. But it was Apple that was winning the hearts and minds of the masses with its focus on simplicity and ease of use. The first iPhone was not successful, in any meaningful way, but that phone was more a proof of concept than anything else.
The iPhone 3G did a lot better, both with respect to sales and how it looked and functioned. Apple had got the design right, so when it came to the iPhone 3GS is was all about refining the experience, making it faster and more responsive. This is what the iPhone 3GS was all about — speed. Remember: this was well before the release of 4G. Combined, these elements created a near-perfect phone the time. How did we get to the iPhone though? What market forces occurred that lead to the concept of an iPhone even being considered?
Most sources tend to agree that Apple, worried about declining iPod sales as more and more cellphone manufacturers began adding music players to there phones, began to envision its own cellphone, one that would bring together the iPod, iTunes, and applications and games inside a dedicated cellphone package.
