Apple mistakenly ships 60 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max units worth $96K to fulfill $3600 order
Have you ever pondered upon how Apple effectively manages iPhone orders and ensures their precise delivery? An intriguing account shared on "X" by subscriber @appltrack reveals that even those in charge of order fulfillment at Apple occasionally make errors. And when such mistakes occur, they are not minor in nature. Allow me to recount the incident.
a TikTok subscriber, @legends_gio (via @appltrack, AndroidAuthority), placed an order for four iPhone 15 Pro Max models - one with 1TB of storage for personal use and three with 256GB of storage for his work team. Surprisingly, instead of receiving the intended three devices, he was shipped three crates containing a baffling total of 60 iPhone 15 Pro Max units. Furthermore, every single phone among the 60 was of the 1TB variant.
the value of this inadvertent shipment of 60 phones amounts to approximately $96,000, with each unit priced at $1,599. In contrast, @legends_gio's initial order was valued at just under $3,600. If you find yourself contemplating why such fortuitous incidents never occur to you, well, there might not be a genuine advantage to receiving fifteen times the number of iPhone units initially requested.
considering the fact that these phones were mistakenly obtained without any payment, it is anticipated that Apple will request their return. And in the event that @legends_gio decides to claim the phones under the "finders keepers, losers weepers" adage, Apple possesses the option of rendering the devices useless. This action would effectively disrupt any plans to sell them on platforms like eBay.
one cannot help but wonder how an order of 60 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max units, amounting to $96,000, managed to bypass several checkpoints before release. If it hadn't undergone such scrutiny previously, it is likely to be subject to thorough examination now. In the event that @legends_gio does return the 60 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max devices that he had not actually ordered, Apple should consider rewarding him in some manner. Let us not forget, he is not the one responsible for this mishap.
