If for any reason you're unable to access the device's settings, you can find the model number on the device itself in the following locations.

iPhone 8 and Later

To find the model number on an iPhone 8 or later model that has a SIM tray, remove the SIM tray and look in the slot. With the help of some overhead light, you should be able to see the model number on the top side (the side with the display).
