A netizen asked me that I recently purchased iphone14 on an unofficial channel, but once the purchased platform activates the phone, there is no way to return and exchange the product. So how do I check the phone without activate the phone and confirm whether the phone is brand new or not? The easiest way to
is to query the serial number, that is, serial no. on the packaging label. This string of numbers is equivalent to the ID number of the Apple device. If the machine is activated, the date of the first activation can be found by the serial number. There are two ways to query the serial number of
. One is to search for "Warranty Status Query" on the official website and enter the serial number to find out the warranty expiration date.
Another type is gsx query, which only requires a serial number, but the information found is more comprehensive, including activation date, color, memory capacity, sales place, sales type, etc. You can compare the found information with the machine information.
If the iPhone I bought is a truly new and unactivated machine, the machine verification result will show "Not activated, please activate it first". If you are really worried, you can also record the entire process of unpacking and activation, in case there is any problem, and you can use it for after-sales service.
