A Chinese man shared his experience of a disappointing surprise when he 'won an iPhone 17 Pro Max' at his company's year-end party, only to discover ceramic tiles, chocolates and candies inside the box.
The man named Jiang Jiang, who is from Guangdong province, was extremely happy when he was announced as the winner of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, reports the Telegraph.
He decided to wait until he got home to surprise his wife, but his excitement turned to shock when he opened the box to find the unexpected contents.
Jiang demanded an apology from the event organizer, claiming the joke was humiliating.
"I expected 2026 to have a lucky start, and they turned the year-end holiday into an April Fool's Day event for me," Jiang said.
He reportedly said he didn't need the phone, but asked the player who was joking to apologize publicly.
It is not clear what happened next. But the event organizer reportedly admitted to changing the phone as a joke to lighten the mood, but Jiang felt cheated and embarrassed in front of his colleagues.
The incident went viral on Chinese social media, sparking a huge debate about the gift and Jiang's reaction. /Telegraph
