What do these statements tell us about an iPhone?

Hi, after entering the iPhone serial number here (Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support) when it says:


"

Valid Purchase Date

Does this mean that this specific iPhone has an age more than one year (because as I've heard that apple gives a warranty of 1 year for each new iPhone)? Or is it also possible for brand new iPhones to have this kind of information (expired)?

There is another question here:

Should the picture which appears after entering the serial number, showing the product, match in color with the product I want to know the information about? I mean is it just a picture to clarify the model or the color in that image shown there should be the same as the iPhone which I entered its serial number?

iPhone SE, iOS 9.3, Not sure about the OS version
