How to check the history o a phone brought from a third party

The phone was not new. It was repackaged.

Return the phone for a refund if you want a new phone with a valid warranty.

No way to get any more info on the phone other than the fact that it has no warranty.

My opinion......buy anything from eBay and you are rolling the dice.

To begin with, it is not “new”. The only way to get a “new” iPhone is to buy it directly from Apple or an authorized retailer.

You can’t get any information as it the ‘history’ of the device.

You already know that it was originally sold in June of 2022. The warranty expired over a year ago.

If you’re unhappy with your purchase, return it (if you can) and get your money back.

The only explanation is that the phone is not actually new. Someone opened it previously.

Anyone can correct me if I am wrong but this phone would not have shipped with iOS 17 if it were new as they discontinued this model before iOS 17 even came out.

New to me means sealed in box and never opened or touched. This should've fallen under eBay's "used" or at the very least "open box" category.

I'd return it if possible for the simple fact that it is not "new".

More evidence that the phone is not new. Return it. You were scammed and you have no warranty on it.

The warranty starts on the day the phone was original sold by Apple or an authorized Apple reseller. As this phone was purchased from Apple in, apparently, June of 2022, the warranty would have expired in June of 2023. The fact that the phone was never removed from the box or used has no bearing on this.
