Although the official start of sales of the iPhone 14 line will take place on September 16, the first batches of devices hit stores a little earlier, which raises the risk of premature unboxing and reviews. Violating the embargo can result in heavy fines, which is what happened to a Chinese streamer who decided to gain subscribers by unboxing an iPhone 14 Pro Max live on stream. The broadcast was suddenly blocked, and the author himself was fined an impressive 200,000 yuan (about $28,700). The dealers from whom he took the device for unpacking also suffered: Apple blacklisted them for 8 weeks. However, this sacrifice was not in vain.

The blogger managed to show the purple color of the iPhone 14 Pro Max live, as well as test the device in the AnTuTu benchmark, where he scored 969,920 “parrots” – far from a record value for the world of smartphones. But the increase in subscribers was clearly less than expected – about 4500.
