iPhone 13 warranty date discrepancy for second-hand device

Hello, I would like to verify the warranty information of my iPhone 13.


The purchase date shown on Apple's Check Coverage website is October 2023, but the warranty expiration date is November 2025.


I would like to understand why the coverage expiration date is more than two years after the purchase date. Could you please verify the device's coverage records and confirm whether the purchase date and warranty information are correct?


I purchased this phone second-hand, so I would appreciate your guidance on how to verify its records. Thank you.

As it is 5 years old and out of warranty, the warranty date has only academic interest. However the reason is probably an unauthorised repair at some point in its interesting life.

Or the original purchaser had AppleCare+ coverage which is at least 2 years and extendable.

Buying used phones will always be a lottery. If it functions then you are lucky.
