Original Title: iphone 16 pro max coverage expired showing
As lobsterghost1 correctly states, your iPhone was refurbished by someone other than Apple. All new iPhone 16 Pro Max should still have their 1 Year Limited Manufacturers Warranty as they started selling in September of 2024. If you believed you were purchasing a new iPhone, return it for a refund. Then purchase one from Apple or one of their Authorized Resellers.

If you're unhappy about that, return it and get your money back.
I likely means you purchased a Refurbished, not by Apple, iPhone 16 Pro Max. If you open Settings > General > About > Model - and the model starts with a 3 or 5, it was refurbished and would have no warranty with Apple at all.
