Can I find IMEI for devices no longer linked to Apple ID?

Hi everyone,


A few days ago, I was using an iPhone 16 Pro Max that was linked to my Apple ID. I’ve since unlinked and no longer have the device, but I now need to retrieve its IMEI number to prove I was the owner.


Is there any way to view previously associated devices (even if they’re no longer connected) under my Apple ID history — for example, through iCloud, Apple ID account page, or Apple support logs — so I can find that IMEI information?


Thanks in advance for any suggestions or official Apple guidance on this.

If the phone was active on your account, your carrier may have a record.

Worst thing is I got scammed.


I have original box and invoice. Its bought under my name and registered on my email. Buyer ordered phone from me and asked for me to unlock the device which I did and shipped to him, he returned me fake iPhone with different IMEI which doesn't match anything. I reached to .gov and I'm looking for options is there any way I can lock the device because police said that address and person doesn't exist, and they cant do anything.


I think only way to prove that device is actually mine is through history of my account where you would be able to see that it has been attached to my apple id.
