That’s not Apple labeling. You’re buying a used, possibly refurbished by an unauthorized provider, device.

It has no warranty. If it was refurbished by an unauthorized party, it is also completely untouchable by Apple.

You would need to contact Apple directly if you want to speak with them. This is a user forum. If you purchased from anywhere other than Apple or an authorized Apple retailer then you should be concerned as it’s possibly a fake. I checked the serial number shown and it says it’s an iPhone with expired coverage. The real question is does the same serial number show in settings on the phone? Just because it’s printed in that label doesn’t mean it’s the real serial number.
