It is IP68 certified for water and dust resistance and comes in five colors: Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, and Black.

Common questions

Is MTXV3LL/A the same as A2847?

Not exactly. MTXV3LL/A usually points to a specific retail configuration, while A2847 identifies the broader Apple hardware family. Always check the EMC and model identifier too.

What iPhone is model A2847?

A2847 is the Apple A-number shown for this iPhone family. Use the order number, EMC, and model identifier on this page to narrow the exact configuration.

What does EMC 8431 mean?

The EMC number is another Apple hardware identifier. It helps separate closely related models that may share a similar name, year, or A-number.

Can the RAM or SSD be upgraded?

Check the spec table for the exact configuration. Many newer Apple Silicon Macs have memory and storage integrated into the board, so RAM and SSD upgrades are often not practical after purchase.

What macOS versions work with this model?

Use the model identifier, release year, and processor family from the spec table when checking macOS compatibility. Compatibility can change as Apple releases new macOS versions.

Is this iPhone still worth buying used?

It can be, depending on price, battery health, memory, storage, and condition. Compare this exact order number and model identifier against similar Techable listings before buying.

How much is this iPhone worth?

Value depends on RAM, storage, battery health, cosmetic condition, accessories, and market demand. Use the SellMac path on this page for a quote or use the identifiers here when comparing resale prices.

What should I search if this page is not the exact configuration?

Search the order number first when available, then compare the A-number, EMC, model identifier, year, chip, RAM, and storage. The same A-number can cover more than one configuration.

Handling multiple devices?
