Coverage problem

I bought a new iphone 14 pro 2 days ago from a trusted seller, but when i checked the coverage date on apple site it says the phone was purchased 1 January 1985 and the coverage expired, can you please tell me what that means ?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Beyond the fact that the phone is obviously not new, and "trusted seller" may not be applicable in this case, no. We are other end users, not Apple.


A 1985 purchase date is obviously not right because the first iPhone did not ship until Summer 2007.


I suggest you return the phone to the seller for a full refund, and only buy the next one from a proper Apple Store or authorized reseller:

There are plenty of "firms" outside the US claiigntoe be Apple-authorized that are not.
