Serial Number with F letter

I found out that serial number begins from F letter(officially refurbished smartphone as I know). I didn’t understand why official reseller didn’t notify me. I was sure that it’s new device! And the second point - how this fact can reflect on quality of my this iPhone.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

No, it doesn’t.

If the Model number starts with F, it is refurbished
