Is a MacBook Pro with 11 charge cycles and 100% battery status considered new or used?

Hello. I got MacBook Pro MK183. 2021. After activation it shows 11 cycles of charge and 100% battery status. Does it mean that its a new product or used?

Sounds new. to me. You would know best, did you just buy it?

you have an expected 1000 cycle count.

11 cycles sounds to me like this may have been a returned laptop. If you bought it from a third party, this would be considered an Open Box. Assuming it had 11 cycles as soon as you logged into the first time. I would think 11 cycles would be a bit high on a completely unused laptop, but I guess Apple could have missed resetting the battery information after testing at the factory. A couple charge cycles would not surprise me.

I would not expect Apple to sell any previously opened/sold device as new, so if you purchased this directly from Apple, then it should be new. If you purchased it anywhere else, your mileage may vary.
