But here's the kicker – it's not all rainbows and butterflies. We've got some crazy stories coming in from Apple Stores around the world.

But let's talk about Dubai Mall. Hundreds of eager shoppers gathered there in anticipation of the iPhone 15 launch. Security had to step in and put up barriers as the crowd grew, trying to keep things under control.

But as the big moment got closer, it seemed some folks couldn't contain their excitement. Social media was flooded with videos of customers racing up escalators, trying to outdo each other.

Unfortunately, what started as minor disagreements quickly escalated into a full-blown brawl, and this was all caught on camera by a user on the X Twitter platform, with the handle @levelsio.
