‘Bro did a drop test!’ Fan accidentally drops iPhone 17 Pro in front of Apple CEO Tim Cook, netizens react hilariously

Apple iPhone 17 series went on sale for the first time on September 19. People all across the world queued outside Apple stores to get their hands on iPhone 17 devices. However, a video has gone viral on social media which shows a man dropping his new Cosmic Orange iPhone 17, in an attempt to get it autographed by Tim Cook.

Ever since the iPhone 17 series has launched, both loyal Apple users and first-time buyers are waiting to buy it. Primarily, since the iPhone 17 series offers some meaningful upgrades to the Non-Pro models as well. Moreover, the new colour options naturally generate some excitement.

The video has drawn quirky responses from social media users. Some people said ‘The man did a drop-test in front of Tim Cook’. In the video, the man, a content creator who goes by Primz on social media, starts opening his iPhone box in front of Cook. Almost instantly, the device slips out and falls to the ground. Both the CEO and the man react as they try to pick up the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17.

Social Media Reactions:

People on social media had some quirky responses to the video. The video has gone viral and garnered millions of views and likes on platforms like ‘X’. Reactions of people ranged widely on the person dropping a brand new iPhone 17 in Cosmic Orange.

While a few joked, some expressed that the man should have got Cook’s signature on the phone, instead of a paper. An individual posted, “Imagine not getting your iPhone signed by Tim after you drop it. It also could have been worth $$$. The first non-mint iPhone to be signed by the Apple CEO. It would have some scratches, marks or imperfections, so you’d know it’s legit. Oh well…”

Another remarked, “I am feeling second-hand embarrassment.” A third expressed, “Damn…how did he do that right in front of Tim Cook?” A fourth wrote, “It is honestly hard to watch.” A few joked that he did the “drop test” right in front of the CEO.
