I just got an iPhone 13 Pro Max, but the info says it was made in 1978. What’s going on
If you search 1978 on this forum, you’ll see a lot of posts about it. It’s just how Apple labels certain devices.
1978 usually means the phone was sold without a warranty.

Why do they do that? Feels kind of random
@Skyler
There are a few reasons. Most of the time, these are demo models that stores end up selling later.
Apple never intended for them to be sold, and since they’ve been used in stores for long hours—sometimes charging all the time—they don’t come with a warranty.
@Zen
Makes sense. Weird that someone downvoted me for just asking though

Yeah, big forums can be like that. Sometimes people take any question as criticism of Apple lol
@Zen
That’s funny. Just for that, I’ll upvote you lol
@Skyler
Almost as weird as how they skipped iPhone 9
Did your grandpa pass it down to you

No, someone is selling it for super cheap
Probably a refurbished phone
@Davis
That’s interesting
It’s just an internal code. 1978 means no warranty or ‘sold as is.’
Apple has other years they use for different things, like stolen or blacklisted devices.

Phones like these are usually sold by Foxconn to resellers. They may offer their own warranty, but the devices often have minor hidden issues.
Used phone
