iPhone 17 Unboxing Takes Dramatic Turn As Phone Slips and Falls
Ashli Singla experienced a heart-stopping moment during what should have been a joyful occasion. She recently unboxed her brand new iPhone 17, only to watch it slip from the box and crash to the ground. The incident occurred right after delivery from the e-commerce platform Blinkit.
From Emotional Comeback to Unboxing Disaster
Singla described her iPhone 17 purchase as an emotional comeback. She had lost her previous iPhone under mysterious circumstances while relaxing in a market. For a while, she survived using a borrowed Android device before deciding to buy the latest Apple smartphone.
She ordered through Blinkit for quick delivery. When the package arrived, Singla began unboxing it immediately while someone recorded the moment. As she opened the box and spoke to the delivery person, the phone suddenly slipped out. It fell to the ground in what she called a hilarious unboxing fail.
In her Instagram caption, Singla wrote: My new iPhone 17. Blinkit delivery was fast... the fall was faster. After losing my previous iPhone, I survived on a borrowed Android for a while. Reality hit; I needed a phone. So I Blinkit-ed one and turned an emotional comeback into a hilarious unboxing fail. New phone is here, dignity left the chat, content secured.

Another user found a silver lining in the situation. They commented: At least you got content; the phone can be repaired, but this reel is priceless.
