What they did
When the iPhone 18 Pro Max was sold out everywhere and Apple quoted end of October, a user gave Grok Bot a virtual card and told it to find one. It emailed stores, found one in stock, verified and ordered it, and had it delivered.
How it went
He says he got the phone about a month before Apple could deliver one.
Worth knowing
- Self-reported viral X post. A capped virtual card limits the damage if something goes wrong.
- Watch for resellers with markups or grey-market stock.
