In a bizarre twist of events, a TikTok user known as @legends_gio, found himself in possession of $96,000 worth of iPhone 15 Pro Max units, mistakenly dispatched by Apple Inc. AAPL instead of his original order.
What Happened: As reported by Android Authority, @legends_gio had ordered an iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB for himself and three 256GB units for his team. Apple, however, shipped three hefty boxes, each filled with 20 iPhone 15 Pro Max models with 1TB storage.

The combined retail cost of the 60 iPhones surges to approximately $96,000 – a drastic leap from the $3,600 value of iPhones that were actually ordered. The incident, believed to be an oversight by Apple, has led to a fair amount of bewilderment and, let’s not deny it, a dash of exhilaration for the receiver.
Despite the initial thrill, Apple can deactivate iPhones acquired unlawfully remotely. It remains to be seen how Apple will resolve this blunder and adequately compensate the perplexed customer for the inconvenience.
