INVALID SERIAL NUMBER
I bought my iphone from machine retail store few years back. And then when i check my serial number recently, it says that it is invalid. Which means my iphone is fake?
Good question. There may be several answers about your serial number. It does NOT mean that the iPhone is fake. Only you can touch and feel your iPhone so you would have known if it were fake. Let's assume that it is not fake.
Once common reason why the Serial Number is not valid is because your iPhone may have had an issue (Previous Owner) and received a replacement iPhone. After that, the previous owner may have not returned the iPhone to Apple and sold it. When something like this happens then the Serial Number becomes invalid because a replacement was sen't out by Apple.
I recommend that you contact ➔ Apple Support to get the right answer.
