Second iPhone 15 model number spotted in Indian database

Another iPhone model number that isn’t attached to any currently available iPhone has been observed in the same Indian regulatory database at which another unknown model has been registered, reports MySmartPrice.

The new model number this time is A3090, which has been filed and certified with India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This model number aligns with the identifier discovered more than a week ago by MySmartPrice, which was A3094. The similarity between both numbers makes it credible that both of them correspond to similar Apple devices, perhaps two of the four iPhone 15 models expected to be revealed in around three weeks’ time.

Apple usually registers model numbers for the iPhone and many of its other products before their announcement, and keen eyes usually spot these model number applications to glean as much information as possible before Apple officially announces those products. As a reminder, here are all the model numbers associated with the iPhone 14 lineup, with different identifiers belonging to different countries and regions for maximum cellular bands conformity.

Apple typically registers multiple model numbers to a single iPhone device as various model identifiers are designated to different countries and regions around the world to ensure they support the correct cellular bands for each region.

For example, the iPhone 14 sold in the US carries model number A2649, with that model completely dropping a physical SIM compartment in favor of eSIM, in addition to being the only country where sold iPhones support 5G mmWave frequencies.
