  "account": "Two men from Dubai, Raihan and Muhammed Shabeeb, made headlines by purchasing 36 iPhones worth Dh400,000 (approximately Rs 1 crore) at the Dubai Mall. The pair arrived at the mall last night, as they were concerned about oversleeping and missing their designated collection time. Despite living nearby, they wanted to be among the first to get their hands on the latest models. Raihan and Muhammed have been buying iPhones for the past 14 years, with many of their orders coming from friends and customers in India. For today's purchase, they booked 36 devices, picking up 14 at the Dubai Mall and planning to collect the remaining 22 from Mall of the Emirates. The duo intends to make another purchase of 40 iPhones tomorrow as well. Their actions have sparked a debate on social media, with some users questioning whether there should be a limit on the number of devices one person can order.",
