Someone bought a phone, replaced it with a fake phone. Took it to an Apple Store and the sales employee must’ve been in a hurry and returned it. Not just returned it but returned it in a state where it’s a closed box (which should never be selected as this means it’s completely unopened and ready to be instantly sold)
The device got sent back to the warehouse or went into local inventory and the rest is history. Some unfortunate sap (sorry) is getting it and now has to deal with this crazy situation that takes around a week to resolve.
But apples lost prevention team will get it straightened out.
I’ll tell you exactly what happened.
