2nd Owner and Warranty

Does the warranty follow the iphone or does it expire if the phone is sold? I have been told two very different answers.

iPhone XR, iOS 13

New IPhone has expired warranty I bought iPhone 11 Pro yesterday but found that limited warranty expired. When checked using serial number, it says purchased in April 2020 yet the phone was sealed and sold as brand new. Is this something possible or the dealer faked me with a second hand iPhone by selling it as brand new?

Transfer of warranty on sale of iPad Air 4 (not Applecare) My son bought an iPad Air 4 and doesn't like it. I have one and love it so can't understand him. If he sells it, will the rest of the warranty pass to the new owner? Many thanks Paul

The warranty follows the phone. Warranty is based on serial number and date of purchase.
