Do they even check the phone in store? What about other shops like MediaMarkt? I was thinking about return in shop but first I need to do test.
I returned a legit iPhone last week at a store near here, was relatively busy and got a worker who seemed a bit unsure of what to do so had a manager standing over her. He told her that they always open and check sealed phones at that store. I am unsure about others.
Yes I was there and they opened it with me before they processed the refund.

Was the box sealed? / did they break the seal?

Yeah the box was completely sealed, it was a brand new phone I hadn’t touched. I wanted to DNA it but I failed so I just returned it for a full refund and they broke the seals to look into the box. Was quite surprised myself.

What the girl did when I dropped mine off was, opened the sealed box
tilted the phone slight to look at the black screen
took note of the serial number on the back of the box
Then she refunded me
It was about a week ago so might be a little cloudy but that’s what I remember doing

Yeah possibly, would have been sweating it big style if it was a dummy phone though 😂
