Reincubate Lookup – Evaluate Apple serial numbers on the web
On the website https://reincubate.com/de/lookup/ you can enter an Apple serial number or an IMEI of the following devices: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, Watch and HomePod. How to find the serial number and IMEI on an Apple iPhone you read in this guide. If you have entered the corresponding character string and confirmed the entry, then - if the corresponding information is in the database of the service - the data will be displayed by Reincubate Lookup. This can be worthwhile even before buying a used item if you request a photo of the back of the iPhone or MacBook bottom from the sellers on eBay, eBay classifieds or similar, read out the serial number and use the Reincubate Lookup to enter the information the display checked.

Reincubate Lookup as an app in the official Apple App Store
You can also find the serial number and IMEI query as an app for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad in the official App Store from Apple. The download is free and the four ratings currently have 5 out of 5 stars. You can download the 9,2 MB small app, which is currently only available in English, on devices with iOS 11.0 or newer. For a one-off second-hand purchase of an Apple device in the private sector, this may not make too much sense. But if you are looking for a quick and easy way to track device data for your repair or second-hand company, for example, then the app could be something for you (just like Mactracker).

Yes, that works well too. There I had here already written about it. It's always a weird feeling typing in your serial number somewhere on the internet. :D
