Warranty ?

So today i bought a new iphone 14 plus .

Its unopened , still in the factory package.

Im just curious , and just checked the warranty status on the phone - and its said its covered to 2024.january .

Its a little bit strange to me , because its even not activated yet . I heard before ,that the apple products warranty is starting when you first activate it - not before …

Sounds like you bought a gray market device from an unauthorized retailer.


Return it and get your money back. The warranty starts when the phone is originally sold by Apple or an authorized retailer, not when it’s activated.
