You telling me they are breaking the seals for brand new iphones to check the boxes ?

Correct.

Apple does the same.

So what do they do with the now 'Opened but never used' iPhones? Send them back to Apple for resealing ? It surprises me that they break the seals but at the same time it doesn't given they're Apple products. Surely they are not doing this for all sealed mobile phone returns ? There are bound to be mid range Android phones you can easily SB from Amazon.
