There is a serial number on the box (and also the IMEI number). You can input the serial number on this site ➔ Apple Care Coverage & Purchase Date Verification . Once the serial number is entered then you will see when the iPhone was purchased and how much coverage is left on it. What you won't be able to know is whether the iPhone has been used or not.
