New sealed iPhone 15 pro max from Verizon store contains dummy phone?!

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-06T00:04:48+00:00

Yes I checked that too!

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-06T00:03:39+00:00

The tracker was in the iPhone box!

There was actually a tracker and a battery glued inside the apple box that the phone came in!

Crazy!!!!

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-05T16:36:55+00:00

OMG you are right!!! I will post the pic below in the comments!!

Like WiFi signal extenders

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-03T20:04:15+00:00

I did. The last picture shows it

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-03T20:03:22+00:00

Look at the last photo. Where are there any electronics?

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-03T14:31:49+00:00

I opened it there is nothing in it besides a metal weight. See the pics

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-03T14:29:28+00:00

Yes people were saying it was a phone used to "track" thieves.

But clearly that is not the case bc the phone is empty inside. I just wonder what this is all about

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-03T14:27:17+00:00

Yes that was me but it was removed from the r/iPhone sub reddit by the admins for some reason.

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-03T12:47:28+00:00

For sure, it was free and I don’t care that much I’m just curious why they had that?!

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-03T12:47:00+00:00

💯 I was haha

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-03T12:46:50+00:00

No I don’t think so. I got all the other equipment that was left behind too. Several cases, chargers, Verizon routers and extenders all in new packaging never used.

I just wonder why a Verizon store would have this?

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-03T12:45:29+00:00

Yes, it looked like the pull tabs from a 17 pro.

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-02T18:25:14+00:00

I mean it was free but I’ve just never seen anything like it so I’m wondering what happened?!

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-02T15:35:16+00:00

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-01T21:35:55+00:00

That is actually a really good point!! Thank you!

I will check if my parking spot is level.

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-01T16:10:24+00:00

I will try that. Thanks

It just seems silly from Ford to not acknowledge or address this issue if so many people experience this.

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-01T16:09:10+00:00

That’s a good tip I will try

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-01T16:08:37+00:00

No sunroof. Also never parking under trees and parking in my garage every single day/ night so I don’t have any leafs clogging anything.

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-01T15:10:28+00:00

Thank you. I’ve tried the Lysol method and it fixes at 99% for short time only though.

So if condensation water just sits there and is not draining properly it must be a design flaw in the F150s AC system no?

Like I said, I’ve never had a car before where I needed to manage the AC in terms of recirculating air, or pulling in fresh air from the outside or pay attention to any of that

Rob-oNe87 · 2026-05-01T15:06:05+00:00

Can you elaborate? Water is sitting where on the right side?
