Company in China gifts each employee iPhone 16 Pro & Apple Watch Series 10

On 9 Sept, Apple unveiled the latest generation of the iPhone lineup, the iPhone 16.

Across the world, many people now have to grapple with the decision of whether they should upgrade to the latest model and if so, how they should go about doing it.

Well, that’s certainly not the case for employees of Mediastorm, a media company based in China.

In an internal message sent to staff members, Tim, the founder of Mediastorm, announced that each employee would receive an iPhone 16 Pro.

He added that both interns and full-timers will receive the free phone, as long as they’re in the office at the time of the announcement.

A follow-up message then stated that each employee would also receive an Apple Watch Series 10, to be announced during the Apple event.
