    • There are different hardware models by country / carrier to support different LTE bands. Apple has a list at http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/

      Also in Software can have also little differences. In example Japanese and Korean models cannot mute their camera sound (Over there this is done also by all the other camera and mobile manufacturers). So they have a slighty different software.

    • It’s a model code related to the country market which that iPhone was manufactured for, to its capacity, and to its color.

      You can see the UNIQUE model code by clicking on that code and it has an “Axxxx” structure, where xxxx are four numbers.
