A Reddit user called KroopTheSnoop shared images of a charred looking iPhone 7 Plus, which is the more expensive model with a a larger screen.

He claimed a co-worker bought the blower and was astonished when he noticed the packaging appeared charred and the phone itself looked even worse.

"I'm not certain, but something happened between the factory and delivery," he said when asked what happened.

Some other Reddit users questioned the claims.

"It looks like a rose gold iPhone with a black front face, which is a configuration that doesn't exist," one person wrote.

"Is this a knockoff phone, or is the lighting just deceptive?"
