Does the serial number beginning with ‘F’ means a refurbished device. I bought a new iPhone 11 Pro from the Apple store paying the full price. But apparently the serial number beginning with F means a refurbished device. Is this true.

You can't determine that from the serial number.

If you're buying it from an individual, it is by definition, "used".
