From all appearances, it looks legitimate to me, but I’m no expert. I am assuming that it was never activated and that’s why you see that message.


I am basing my remarks on a personal experience I had when I bought my wife an iPad for Christmas last year. When I entered the serial number for the iPad into the check coverage website, I got a similar message about the device not being activated yet. Once we set it up for her, then it showed the warranty coverage as I expected that it would.


EDIT - I defer to KiltedTim on iPhone matters. He knows more about this than I know.
