How could possibly get a refurbished iPhone, when there are no iPhone 6s out in the wild to be "used" then refurbished..
Some carriers put stickers on their boxes after they pre-package their SIM card at the warehouse, back when I had Cingular if you pre-ordered(online/telesales/local corp store) they'd also write a number related to the pre-order list. My mum had a Motorola SLVR L7(aka 2nd iTunes phone) with a similar sticker.
it is definitely a refurb dood. take it back and demand a newer one.
Do you realize what a refurbished phone is? Its a returned iPhone (or repaired) that apple puts through its own tests and cleans it up. There's absolutely no way on day 1 of a roll out that apple has ANY refurbished phones.
Beside, refurbs come in a different color box
The other members are toying with you.
Hey guys, just got my iPhone 6S+ in, and after opening the box saw this yellow sticker. Anyone knows what it means? Did I get a refurbished phone? Did I win a lottery?

it's probably for inventory / reserve marking.
if you got it from other place than apple store /apple.com, you probably got a fake.
kidding aside, enjoy your purchase, don't worry about little thing.
of course i realize it lol do you realize sarcasm over a silly thread? And they aren't always in a different color box. I got my 6 replaced with a identical box as the new ones except it was more shallow.
It's a yellow sticker.
- On the bottom of the box.
Why does it need to mean anything?
If your only choices are:
1. It's a refurb.
Or,
2. you won the lottery.
I would choose #2. (It can't possibly be a refurb)
Maybe you won the lottery
Or, (choice #3) you are just making too much ado about a random sticker.
I would go back to the store to complain about that sticker, and the fact that (apparently) no store employee showed up at your house to watch your unboxing. What a terrible way to treat a customer!

Look closer, it might be a message for help from a child forced to work in the factory
