Where can I find the serial number of the lightning cable that came in my new iPhone box (which is written on the data cable) on my iPhone box so that I can identify my original data cable?

I recently lost the lightning cable that came in the box with my new iPhone 14+. which was stolen by a person. Now he is giving me fake lightning cable and the other lightning cable that person has is real. Now the problem is how can I see that lightning cable is really only mine?

The iPhone box does not have the serial number for the accessory cable so you can’t identify the cable shipped with your iPhone. However you might be able to confirm whether the offered replacement is a genuine Apple product.
