I went through 6 iPhones recently and 4 of them were refurbished. The dead giveaway is if it comes in a plain white box with no Apple markings on it. The second thing to look for is if the serial number starts with "5K".

Also, politely ask the Mac Genius if you can test out the refurb before taking it home. The guy I had let me take it into the bathroom to check for light leaks... he was very nice to me about it and he agreed that I shouldn't leave there until I was satisfied with an iPhone and sure enough, after a couple, I found the one I wanted.

Here's my story if you are interested: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/582099/
