Unless you bought it directly from Apple's Refurbished online store, it is not going to be refurbished.


Maybe refreshed or reconditioned by a third party, but not Refurbished like Apple does.


There is no way to determine if it has been reconditioned by a third party unless they tell you however.


You can check the serial number, and if it starts with a "Z" it would not be a refurbished unit by Apple.

But may have been reconditioned by someone else, and the serial number would not have changed in that case.
