Secondhand iPhone XR purchase date verification

Hello everyone! I check a secondhand iphone thru its serial number and typed it on the site that shows its coverage and purchase date and it shows there that the purchase date is 2019. It is safe to buy? I checked other things that needs to be checked but that's the only thing that bothers me 😢

There are quite a few additional “trip hazards” involved with purchasing a pre-owned Apple device.


Some hazards are because the phones are stolen; others because the previous owners either didn’t prepare them properly for resale or were simply ignorant of their original purchase contact requirements.


Regardless of the cause, they can prevent YOU from using the phone at all; or else possibly not with the carrier of your choosing.


Maximum Caveat Emptor !!!
