Differentiate between black and white iPhones? [duplicate]

Question

We can use uname to tell the difference between iphone 3GS v.s. iphone 4 v.s. ipod touch v.s. ipad...

But how can we tell the difference between white and black iphones?

I would like to customize the user experience based on that.

Answer 1

The serial number on the iPhone gives you all this info, you just need to map the code for colour to the colour itself.

Typical format of the iPhone SN is as follows: AABCCDDDEEF

AA = Factory and Machine ID
B = Year of Manufacturing (9 is 2009/2019, 0 is 2010/2020, 1 is 2011 and so on)
CC = Production Week (01 is week 1 of B, 11 is week 11 of B and so on)
DDD = Unique Identifier
EE = Color (A4=black)
F = size (S=16GB, T=32GB)
