When I got it last year I just booted it to verify it's working. To confirm serial number on box with phone I believe we have to go into About screen. Which means have to reset phone to transfer data from previous iphone or android. It's a small hassle for peace of mind. Anyways do let us know how it goes.

0verlord Posted Tuesday at 10:41 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:41 AM I took the open box delivery on a busy road and the guy was in such a hurry that I had to threaten him to cancel the order because he was not allowing me to do my checks. But then he relented and allowed me, so I checked the serial twice - Apple coverage website said this Activate Your Device We’re unable to display coverage details because your device hasn’t been registered.
