If you’re purchasing anything new sealed in the box like this from an online reseller, you should film yourself opening the box when it arrives to your house in case there is any kind of dispute
Apple should start putting uncopyable holograms on each box or put their logo all over the wrapping, just like trading card games do with their sealed boxes
I just bought a “factory sealed “ Opened it and I have some tiny scratches on the screen a dent on the side and some weird scrapes that look like that could have attempted to replace something in the phone. From seeing your phone I just noticed there was no plastic over the box
Also when I look up the warranty online with the serial number, it says this phone was purchased September 2021 but on my factory seal tab it says 2022 Apple Inc, could that be a red flag?
@@ashlee5153 13 mini has paper tabs, and the year on the box should be the same year the phone was released, not year of purschase, so yes that is a reseal
I just almost bought a sealed iPhone and it appears to be used. I can tell it wasn’t brand new. The iPhone works but it’s not worth what he asked as it wasn’t brand new. I was lucky to test on the spot and he didn’t get away with my money.

For the iPhone 13mini should it be a plastic over the box?

@@ashlee5153how do check when it was bought?

@@ashlee5153That is a red flag because the 13 series should have 2021 on the box.
I recently bought 15 pro in China … The Model Number starts with M and Serial Number with F … I doubt if its refurbished ..

Marketplace is currently loaded with BNIB and sealed Samsung S24 phones. Beware.

Are the serial numbers and IMEI numbers real for the fake phone boxes?
Indeed, don't be fooled
