Huh I wonder why a scammer would replace it with a real sealed iPhone 14 Pro Max vs a cheap copy like in OP’s case. Your phone wasn’t blacklisted or anything right?

I wonder if in your case it was an honest mistake made at the Apple warehouse depot level vs an actual scam. I believe all of these packages and devices are serialized so mistakes like these shouldn’t happen.

So in their investigation Apple basically thought you were trying to scam them by trying to swap for a newer model?

I’m curious to see how Apple handles the situation.

In the tracking info, was it shipped from their warehouse overseas in China/India or from somewhere closer? I remember the iPhone 12 I bought came directly from China.

I’m guessing it had to have been switched at the delivery level, maybe at the shipping warehouse or by a courier. The cardboard boxes Apple uses to ship their products are pretty standardized and obvious to people who’ve seen them before.

What did Apple say? Did Apple have you bring the fake phone to the Apple Store or ship it back to them for investigation? Did they give you a time frame on when they’ll get back to you?

Yeah I wondered how well a game like this could perform in devices as small as an iPhone.

Has anyone played the Mac version? How did you like it? Does it play well with a DualSense controller? Recommended or no?

I have a base 2021 MBP 14” and was wondering how well it runs. I see it’s on sale for $16 on the App Store right now.
