iPhone serial number

Hello guys, I need your help before buying this iPhone 8 plus. Wanted to know whether it's possible to change iPhone 8 plus's serial number or not? Or can two or more iPhones use the same serial number?


I don't trust my seller. And what's the easiest way to confirm the authenticity of an iPhone(genuine)?

No you can’t change the serial number. No, multiple iPhones won’t have the same serial number. And if you don’t trust the seller that is your cue to not buy from them. You can check

Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support. If it’s not a legit serial number it won’t pull up anything.
