When you’re buying an iPhone second hand. Was the phone purchased new by the person selling it to you? Is it a refurbished item or a replacement?

Actually, we can find out that information by looking at the serial number of the device.

Essentially, the first letter of your phone’s model number will let you know whether the phone is new, refurbished, a replacement phone.

How to find your iPhone model

1. Go to Settings.

2. Go to General and then select About.

3. Find the Model Number at the bottom of the page (for example, FQA52LL/A).

4. Choose the first letter of that model number to identify your machine.

- Start with M - A brand new product that you can buy and use.

- Start with N - Replacement phone (A product that the customer replaces under the condition that t                                  here is still a guarantee, but we cannot know the quality of this type of machine).

- Start with F - A refurbished machine (a broken product that Apple repairs and usually sells for the                              same price).

For the example above, it is already shown that this is an iPhone model number: FQA52LL/A. The first letter is "F" It means "refurbished phone."

This is the way it can be a great way to get a little bit more of the story behind that iPhone before you buy it.
