Why didn't they put the letter "F" like other phones?
Because someone other than Apple refurbished it.

Because the letter F indicates that it was actually refurbished by Apple.
Thank you for the answer. One last question. Does this mean that the device has a defect, or that the person who replaced it is with Apple’s approval?
It was done with Apple's approval.
