Replacement iPhone way of telling if they are refurbished?
I am currently on my 2nd iPhone 4. The first one was exchanged at an Apple Genius Bar, and the replacement iPhone was behind the counter in a black iPhone Box fully sealed. The Genius then opened it from the box and activated it using is laptop.
The phone was replaced July 8th due to bad battery problems. I am wondering if there is a way to check if the iPhone is a refurbished unit or a brand new one. Because I had the iPhone on launch and think its a bit cheeky if it is a refurbished one as it is due to manufactures fault that the iPhone was replaced in the first place.
On second thought due to the unit being quite new at the time do you think Apple would have not received many iPhones to refurbish?
Sorry for the lame question but just curious. And by the way this new replaced iPhone seems just as bad as the first one, if not worse. I think it is due to the software as other people have pointed out in other threads.
