iPhone 13 warranty - new from Apple/authorized dealer vs. new from private seller

Is it true that current iPhones have their warranty start from the time they are activated vs. when they were physically purchased? I'm considering getting one that someone has brand new in the box, unused, and wondering if there's really any risk if has the same warranty as buying brand new from a dealer or Apple.

FYI: with a private seller, there's always the risk of having the phone blacklisted after the seller gets paid too.

As noted, Apple warranty follows the phone and not the purchaser.
