Russian comedian Denis Chuzhoy bought an iPhone in an official store, but in the end became a victim of deception. He spoke about the situation in detail in posts on Twitter.
According to the humorist, he and his wife bought a new gadget from the re: Store chain of stores, and only later did the comedian discover a problem with his device. A couple of weeks after the purchase, an inscription appeared on the smartphone screen stating that the device “could not verify the authenticity of the battery”. Soon after, the phone ran out of power and stopped turning on.
The stranger took the device to the store's service center, from where the phone was sent “to some secret Apple base in the Moscow region.” A week later, specialists came to the conclusion that “unauthorized modifications” were made to the phone, and therefore warranty repairs are impossible.
The comedian noticed that he was using only official accessories and did not make any modifications. Later, Alien again turned to the store where he bought a smartphone. The employee checked his phone in the database and did not find him there.
“As if they hadn't sold it. Although I had a write-off from the card, ”the comedian explained. According to Alien, he wrote a statement and handed it over to the store, but so far he has not received an answer.
