'Most Embarrassing Part...': Netizens React As Content Creator Drops New iPhone 17 in Front Of Apple CEO Tim Cook – VIDEO

Apple’s much-awaited iPhone 17 series is now available for purchase across India, marking the official open sale launch following successful pre-orders. Videos showing long queues outside Apple Stores in BKC and Delhi’s Saket on Friday have gone viral.

Another video that has since gone viral captures a rather awkward moment when a content creator accidentally dropped his newly purchased iPhone 17 in front of Apple CEO Tim Cook. The clip shows the content creator standing beside Tim Cook, who is holding a marker ready to sign the device. As the creator opens the box, the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 suddenly slips out and falls to the ground. He quickly picks it up, appearing visibly embarrassed.

The video then shows Tim Cook preparing to sign the back of the device, but the content creator stops him and instead requests him to sign on the front screen protector.
