Phone's have serial numbers tied to the hardware. It's certainly possible to prove that a given phone is the same physical unit that one purchased.


Which does not in any way prove that it is yours. Over my lifetime I purchased over 30 phones. Only two of them are currently mine. If you were to place another one I have purchased, but long ago sold in my possession, that would not be enough to prove that it is currently mine. if I happen to know the password, that might be very convincing.
