Hong Kong police have received over 100 reports of unauthorised credit card transactions related to pre-orders of Apple’s new iPhone Duo, according to the South China Morning Post. The pre-orders began on Friday at 8pm, and complaints about suspicious transactions started appearing on social media overnight. Apple is reviewing all current orders to identify and cancel any fraudulent transactions, and customers will not be held liable for repeated transactions, with HSBC offering to identify and void any suspicious charges.
This incident is the second time iPhones have been involved in unauthorised credit card transactions in just over a month, following similar issues with the pre-orders of the iPhone 18 Pro series in late September.
