313 phones iPhone X were stolen from the front of an Apple Store in San Francisco last night, hampering Apple's efforts to deliver the units wanted by its customers. We are talking about three men who robbed a UPS car in front of an Apple Store, it was delivering the 300 units for the launch that will take place in a few hours, but which will probably leave many people disappointed.
The 313 units of iPhone X represented the total stock of phones for the day of the launch, they have an estimated value of 370.000 dollars and they all disappeared with the thieves last night. The thieves were seen by an employee of the location where the store is located, the courier carrying the iPhone X phones stating that he had locked the car before making the delivery, but that did not stop the thieves.
The thieves disappeared very quickly after stealing the 313 iPhone X phones, but they will be impossible to sell because Apple knows the serial number and upon activation they will be located immediately. Apple has stated that all iPhone X orders placed for pickup from that Apple Store will be honored, while people who were hoping to buy a unit from stock will be disappointed to learn that thieves have put them on the road for nothing.
"The total value of the stolen merchandise was estimated to be more than $370,000. The iPhone X, which becomes available in stores Friday, starts at $999 apiece. The suspects haven't been caught yet. Each phone was cataloged with a description and serial number, which meant the police report was one of the "fattest" Sgt. Paul Weggenmann had ever seen, he said."
The iPhone X is awaited by very long queues in front of Apple stores in many areas around the world, hundreds of people enduring the cold last night to get their hands on the phones.
