iPhone 15 Pro Max 15 Pro Max Express Replacement Question

[magicgoldenfruit]

I purchased my original 15 PM in November and was having a ton of issues with the camera/the phone being glitchy in general, so I did an express replacement and got it 2 days ago.

I think I got lucky with a brand new device instead of a normal “replacement device”, because the model number is MU673LL/A.

My question though is regarding the battery’s first use. It shows it was manufactured in September of 2023, but first used in November 2023. Shouldn’t the first use date be January 2024? Or is that first use date from quality testing at the factory?

who ****in cares. you got your phone, use it as intended.

How many cycles was it showing brand new when you got it? I wouldn’t worry honestly.

It won't effect the battery's performance so not anything to worry about. If the phone works properly then Apple has fulfilled it's obligation. Enjoy your phone
