A MAC (or Media Access Control) address is a set of unique codes assigned to a network device to identify it on a network. MAC addresses are usually used for setting up security protocols on an Internet-connected network. Since iPhones have the capability to connect to these kinds of networks, it therefore has its own MAC address, which is pretty easy to find on the device .

Steps

Open your iPhone’s settings. This is the grey gear icon that is on the home screen of your iPhone. Here you can view its device settings and all customizable options.

Tap on General. Scroll down the Settings screen and tap “General” from the list of options displayed on the menu list.

Show your iPhone’s identity. Scroll down the General settings screen and select About from the list of options. This will show all the unique details about your iPhone, such as its IMEI, serial number, and more.

Find the MAC address. Move down the About screen, and right below your iPhone’s model or serial number, you’ll find an item labeled Wi-Fi Address. This is your iPhone’s MAC Address. It’s a twelve-digit alphanumeric combination separated by pairs using a colon (:).
