Good afternoon. Where can I see the exact activation date of my iPhone 15 Pro Max? Everywhere they write that it is necessary to subtract a year from the warranty, etc. But this is all indirect information, but I would still like to see the exact date.
Thank you
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
I can see the purchase date of my iPhone here:
Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support
If I activated the phone on a different date, then I must contact my carrier to see the date of the agreement...which is the activation date.
Apple does not keep carrier activation date records. Only your carrier would have this information.

It's a copy of the sales receipt. But, you already know when you purchased the phone.
The sales receipt has nothing to do with the activation date.
For example, you purchased the phone on January 1, 2023. You set up service with your carrier on January 10, 2023. January 10, 2023 is the activation date.
Look at the date of the agreement that you signed with your carrier. That date is the exact activation date.
What Apple have available is the checkcoverage.apple.com website.
That lists the purchase date, and the expiration of warranty coverage.
We have told you what is available and how to obtain information.
The exact activation date is not tracked by Apple, so it will not help to keep asking the same question and expecting a different answer.
Please contact your carrier.
We are done here.
What is preventing you from asking your carrier when you activated the phone? They know the exact date, hour and minute that your phone was activated.
Contact your carrier.

Check with those “some sources” and review and test what they have reported, then.
Or contact Apple Support, and get the official answer from them.
Or check with the carrier, as they’ll usually know when a cellular plan is transferred.
Apple tracks the date of sale, and the wnd of varranty.

Contact your carrier.
Where does the telecom operator get this information?
The two dates that Apple cares about are on that webpage, and in the email receipts that Apple sends out.
in the email receipts that Apple sends out? What is it?
The activation server at the carrier records the exact time that the carrier's cellular service was first implemented with your phone.

This was not the first time I used a cellular service on this phone.
But I need the exact activation date, not the warranty expiration date

No. The activation date is completely irrelevant. the warranty clock starts ticking on the date the device was sold, not the date it was activated.
Why do you believe the Activation date is of ANY importance?
Exact activation date
