The Apple iPhone 17 series officially went on sale on September 19 and made headlines for drawing massive crowds worldwide. Eager buyers lined up outside Apple Stores to grab the latest devices. However, one fan managed to steal the spotlight when he accidentally dropped his brand-new Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro and interestingly, it all happened right in front of Apple CEO Tim Cook. Here’s the fill story.
Amid all the fan frenzy, one particularly amusing incident was caught on camera and quickly went viral across social media. A fan and content creator known as Primz was unboxing his new iPhone 17 Pro in front of Tim Cook, hoping to get it autographed. But in a split second, the device slipped out of his hands and hit the ground.
Both Cook and the fan reacted instantly, picking up the dropped device. Despite the slip-up, Primz handed over the phone and managed to get Cook’s signature, though not directly on the phone, but on a piece of paper placed over the screen.
According to a post on his X profile, Primz revealed that he had waited in line for more than 15 hours to purchase the Cosmic Orange model.
The video has since gone viral, racking up millions of views and likes on platforms like X. Netizens had a field day with the incident, flooding the comments with jokes and witty remarks.
Some users quipped that the fan had performed a “drop test” in front of Tim Cook, while others couldn’t believe he missed the chance to get the iPhone itself signed.
One user wrote, “Imagine not getting your iPhone signed by Tim after you drop it. It also could have been worth $$$. The first non-mint iPhone to be signed by the Apple CEO. It would have some scratches, marks or imperfections, so you’d know it’s legit. Oh well…”
Another posted, “I am feeling second-hand embarrassment.” A comment read, “I bet he bought AppleCare before he stepped out. Not funny but I am sure he will put all lenses to find any scratches.”
Another commented, “Damn… how did he do that right in front of Tim Cook?” while one more added, “It is honestly hard to watch.”
