Hi there,


There's no way to determine that.

However, here are some tips that may help you to do so:

  • When you associate a device to your Apple ID, which is what you usually do when you activate it, you receive an email. Try to find this email in your mailbox and check the date you received it.
  • Go to Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support. There, your iPhone purchase date may appear and other stuffs that may help you finding out what you're looking for.

A possible clue,,,,,,but not a lock.....on when this might have been.


Home Screen > Settings > Cellular

Scroll all the way down the long list to locate Call Time


Unless this has been reset, this will indicate how long you have been using the cell service from your carrier. If you have changed carriers since you acquired the phone, bets are off.


iPhone 11 was introduced in Sept 2019, so your use would likely have begun sometime after that date.
