iPhone Model: 5C, A1532, or ME505LL/A
Why the model number on the back cover of my iPhone 5C says A1532, not 5C? Is my phone really a "iPhone 5C"? I am confused.

In the Apple iPhone world,
"iPhone 5C" refers the model family for all phone sets
that produced with the iPhone 5C technical design specifications.
But "iPhone 5C" phone sets are actually produced with different specific settings to meet different technology needs of different cellular carriers in different regions of the world. Apple uses model numbers to identify those differences.
For example, Apple uses a model number "A1507" to identify a specific variation of "iPhone 5C" produced for "UK/Europe/Middle East" region. Here is a table of different model numbers used for "iPhone 5C":
Model Family Model Number Cellular Technology,Carrier,Region ------------ ------------ ----------------------------------------------- iPhone 5C A1456 CDMA,,US/Japan iPhone 5C A1507 ,,UK/Europe/Middle East iPhone 5C A1516 ,China Mobile,China iPhone 5C A1526 ,China Unicom,China iPhone 5C A1529 ,,Asia Pacific iPhone 5C A1532 GSM/CDMA,Verizon/China Telecom,N. America/China
So it is confusing that your iPhone 5C phone set shows "A1532" as the model. And it does show "iPhone 5C" any where on your phone set.
To make things even more confusing, if you open your iPhone 5C and go to "Settings > General > About", it will show you another model number like "ME553LL/A". This is actually called Part Number or Order Number, which is used identify a sub variation of a Model Number.
For example, here are some Part Numbers for iPhone 5C A1532 model:
Model Family Model # Part # Cellular Technology,Carrier,Region ------------ ------- --------- ---------------------------------- iPhone 5C A1532 ME505LL/A GSM,,North America iPhone 5C A1532 ME553LL/A CDMA,Verizon,US iPhone 5C A1532 MF364CH/A CDMA,China Telecom,China
So, if you see "Model: ME553LL/A" in your iPhone Settings, you know you are using an iPhone 5C A1532 with Verizon for CDMA cellular service.
