How to Check If an iPhone Is Original?

Hi, I am planning to buy iPhone from a leading online store in India. I am getting the iPhone 6 plus 64 GB for Rs 61,000 only whereas at Apple Store and other sites like amazon.in, the price is Rs 72,000. Now how do I figure out if the phone is New and genuine. How wud I get to know if the phone is not Refurbished. Also what kind of Apple Seal I should expect on the box before opening.

Thanks

iPhone 6 Plus

There is no "seal." You would have to check the phone serial number with Apple to see if it is valid and not previously owned.

You might telephone 000800 1009009 to check if the vendor is an authorized Apple Retailer.

Vineetamak,

In addition to Modular747's, and sberman's comments, you can use the Activation Lock Check link to confirm that the iPhone is not locked to a previous user.
