In my iphone 12 pro, the model number shows- MGMN3B/A. I searched up Internet and found every model number starts with A. Can you please tell me is my model number legit?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17
That's an iPhone 12 which was originally sold in the UK or Ireland; the A and M numbers are used by separate systems.

This iPhone was not refurbished by Apple or by a carrier, based on the leading M.
Does it mean the first user of the phone was using the phone in the UK ?
It is where it was sold. Who knows where the buyer then went with it. Some iPhones are well traveled.

I am concerned that my iphone screen is Not original , because of two issues I found. 1st, the bottom bezel is a tiny bit thicker than the rest. 2nd, when I tap icon "very lightly" , the screen misses the touch.
Could you tell me what could be happening?
A non-genuine display usually shows a message: About genuine iPhone displays - Apple Support
Whether this display is having missed touches or ghost touches? Certainly possible.
Remove any protective case and any screen-protective film, clean the display, and test again.
You’ll want to discuss this matter with the seller, if there was any warranty provided.
Buying a used iPhone from a third-party vendor can potentially buy somebody else’s problem device too, yes.

I went to the shop asking for a refund (my 14 days hasn't finished yet). They are saying there is nothing wrong with the phone (i did show them "very light" touches are not being recognized) and they are saying that the iphone screen is an original piece.
I checked with the serial number of the phone , website shows the phone was bought around 3 years ago.
Are they lieing that the screen is original?

Try tapping the “M” number to reveal the relevant “A” number.
Thanks for the reply Niel.

I’ve indicated how to check the display.
But there’s little evidence you’ll be happy with this purchase, based on your postings here.
Buyer’s remorse or whatever your reasoning.
Return the iPhone for a refund.
I tried a lot to return the iphone, they are rejecting me. They are in complete denial. What can I do in this situation?
(It costed 450 euro to buy the phone, excluding the price for charger, screen protector etc)
1. That model number is for a new unit, not a refurbished one.
2. The first user bought it in the UK or the Republic of Ireland. Warranty service will likely be denied internationally.

Thank you so much for the reply :)))
I live in Portugal and bought this iphone 12 pro from a 3rd party refurbisher store, couple of days ago. Is there any way to know if my phone was serviced or opened ?
Thank u so much Niel and Hoffman 😊😊
I cannot find this model number in internet. Which model is this?
