Thank you for replying.
Determining a Refurbished Device:
I misunderstood your post, reading "how it is sell on outlet". All is fine. It is not refurbished.

"Doubt about new product serial number: Then how it is sell on outlet as new phone without any single discount.., is this a clear case of cheating or not.?"

Return this:
It seems you were scammed, though a full-assumption on my part. So, return this. However, maybe in the seller's Terms & Conditions, they labeled it as such a device to sell.
As i discussed with the ipro (apple promoter) about return of my product he is surely saying that this product is not a refurbished one, he is saying that “Model number is using for identify the phone is refurbished, not using serial number for it" i need a clarity about this. for your reference i am sharinge screenshot of my iphone about., please check and reply.
