San Francisco: A number of masked people barged into an Apple store in US’s Philadelphia, and fled with the latest products, including iPhone 15 devices, iPads, and others.

According to the Daily Mail, the Apple Store was attacked around 8 p.m. on Tuesday, and police chased looters while recovering dropped iPhones and a “pile of iPads” at one location.
