Overview
- Jiang Jiang was named the grand-prize winner of an iPhone 17 Pro Max at a hospital year-end party in Guangdong, with the company head announcing the prize and its 9,988 yuan price on stage.
- He took home what appeared to be a genuine boxed phone with a branded bag and printed receipt, then found tiles and sweets inside instead.
- Jiang posted a video detailing the discovery and has called for a public apology from whoever was responsible, saying he does not actually need the phone.
- Some outlets report that hospital management had not approved buying a real device and that the prank was organised by Jiang’s team manager, a claim not independently confirmed.
- The incident has drawn widespread online sympathy and criticism of workplace “pranks,” and as of the latest reports there has been no official response from the employer.
