for the Apple device iPad/iPhone/iPod

 Identify the Product Type
Method 1
    1. You know your Device is e.g. iPhone 5c

    2. Note the model number e.g. A1529
    3. Visit this site, TheiPhoneWiki, and Find the model number
      e.g. using the A1529 
    4. Note the identifier under heading "variant/identifier"
      e.g. using the A1529 you would see iPhone5,4
Find the Download
  1. Go to ipws.me select device iPhone 5c.
    "in this case you will see two  iPhone 5c(GSM) iPhone 5c(global)"
  2. Check the versions and see which identify matches.
    in this case
    • iphone 5c(GSM)  is iPhone5,3
