Apple’s shipping blunder: 60 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max units returned after a $96K mix-up

Earlier this month, we told you about an unusual situation involving Apple, where the tech giant mistakenly shipped 60 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max units to a customer who had only ordered 4, only one of which was the 1TB variant.

Apple, apparently by mistake, sent smartphones worth a total of $96,000 to fulfill an order worth $3,600, a mistake that could potentially lead to the loss of his job. However, iPhones are now back with the manufacturer.

A TikTok user, @legends_giodocumented the return of iPhone 15 Pro Max units in an Apple Store. After receiving an incorrect shipment, the user left town for a few days. When he returned, Apple contacted him by email, suggesting that he keep the four iPhones in his order for free and return the excess. This is precisely what the TikTok user did. Returning additional iPhones is a no-brainer, as it aligns with the principle of doing the right thing. When something is not yours, the standard practice is to return it. This ethical stance sparked a huge discussion in the comments section under the post on TikTok surrounding the incident of mistakenly shipped iPhones.

THE iPhone 15 Pro Max with 1TB of storage is the most expensive model in the iPhone 15 series. Doing the right thing, in this case the TikTok user kept not only one for free, but all four. Initially, he ordered a single unit with 1TB of storage for himself and three with 256GB of storage for his work team. Now they all benefit from 1 TB iPhone 15 Pro Maxa rewarding outcome for doing what is right.
