Can I exchange wrong color iPhone 17 Air after 14 days?

I have purchased the iPhone 17 air chose the black back. My phone arrived a few days later, but still had three weeks left on my current cell phone provider plan so I never opened the box when the time came for me to switch providers. I opened the box and it was the white back not the black back and then it said on the inside that I only had 14 days once the package was delivered to return it or exchange it for any inconsistencies. How can I fix this? Do I have to cancel my current cell phone plan and then sell the iPhone back to Apple to get the right color

The full refund is available for 14 days. After that, you can sell it privately, and purchase a new one.


Or you can put a protective case on it, and the iPhone color will then be largely invisible, as many of us do.
