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.

No, a Model number that begins with “F” indicates a refurbished unit.
