Guys,
Went to MACHINE and found out that it is not refurbished unit, instead it is a NEW IPHONE.
NEW, come out from a "iPhone only without accessories" box.
Confirmed by several MACHINE staff.
The box is sealed with serial number bar code something.
Also, for 64GB iPhone 6s Plus, the trade scheme is at RM1899 inclusive GST.
So RM1899 for a new phone.
Oh ya, warranty for 3 months or as per your old phone remaining period; which ever longer.
This is a surprise, if the unit is a new unit, shouldn't it comes with the whole 1 year warranty like the norm? Could this be an open box unit or a demo unit?
The serial number of the unit can provide the details as follows:-
Examine the iPhone's serial number. The digits within a serial number will indicate when the iPhone was manufactured and produced.
Determine if the first digit of the serial number is "5." If the device has been refurbished and is "Apple Certified," then Apple will modify the serial number to begin with the number "5."
Locate the third digit of the serial number. The third digit indicates the last digit of the year in which the iPhone was manufactured. For example, if the third digit is an "8," the iPhone was made in the year 2008. If the third digit is a "0," then the iPhone was manufactured in 2010.
Examine the fourth and fifth digits of the serial number. These digits will indicate the week of year in which the phone was manufactured. For example, if the fourth and fifth digits are "51," then the iPhone was made in late December of the year it was manufactured.
Although the manufacturing dates within a serial number may not be recent, it is still possible that the iPhone has never been used and has been sitting in its original packaging since its release.
Got this info from wiki.
