Activating new iphone from USA in Dubai

Hi,


When I tried activating the new US iphone 14 in Dubai, and logged in using my apple ID, instead of my own number the profile says some USA number saying Siri found in settings. Does this mean my phone is not original or new?

This means the iPhone has an Activation Lock.



If you are the owner or the owner has shared all information with you then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.


If you are not the owner and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password with you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their Apple ID.
