I signed up a new iPhone 11 at Walmart on Nov 25. Today I found out it’s a used phone. Warranty has expired 367 days ago and was activated by someone else in 2020, which was confirmed with Apple. What the hell? Phone sold out at Walmart. What to do? Any advise?

I would return the phone to walmart and get a new one.

Sounds like they must’ve sold you a used phone.


The problem is I don’t want to return the phone. The phone is part of the deal of upgrading my plan. If I return the phone. There’s no value to upgrade my plan.

Return it and get a new one/exchange it, that way you’ll still maintain the deal, but hopefully get a brand new phone this time.

I have tried. Walmart has sold out all their iPhone 11. That’s how I get stuck

Unfortunately because you bought the phone from Walmart, it needs to be returned/exchanged through them.

The only options at this point then would be to return it and then buy the phone elsewhere or take the phone as is.
