If you really need to know if your Apple iDevice is a new or redurbished unit, I suppose you could call Apple directly at 1-800-MYAPPLE and ask some one about confirming whether your serial number reflects a new or refurbished iDevice unit, or not.įYI about Apple refurbished products, in the case you think you have been sold and "inferior" product. The only way YOU would have gotten a refurb unit is if something happened to your iDevice well into the standard and extended AppleCare+ warranty periods where you would have been given a replacement iDevice for a seriously defective one, as Apple never repairs iDevices, and the replacement AppleCare iDevices have been confirmed, by other reliable Mac news sources, to be refurbished Apple iDevice products. So, none of this proves new or refurbished and I don't think Apple provides any online resource to be able to determine this.

The serial numbers with the iDevices I own, usually, start with a D followed by one or two more letter combinations. Typically, the model ID number always contains an M at the beginning followed by another letter combination. I cannot confirm or deny your information about the M or F model ID number or serial number letters since both numbers can contain one to three letters at the beginning one of these model ID/serial numbers and letters at the end.

But, how am I suppose to determine if the device is original or refurbished? For ipad, I understand the letter M and F in the serial number represents New and Refurbished respectively.
