The Dubai Mall Witnessed Chaos During the Highly Anticipated iPhone 15 Launch
The long-awaited launch of the iPhone 15 turned chaotic this morning as fights broke out among the massive crowd at The Dubai Mall in the UAE. Startling footage captured security guards attempting to push back the unruly crowd just outside Apple’s flagship store. Videos show customers shoving each other and even falling to the ground in what is considered to be one of the largest shopping centers in the world. Other videos depict customers running through the mall and scrambling onto escalators amidst a backdrop of yelling.
MailOnline has reached out to Dubai Police for further information and confirmation on the authenticity of the video. Additionally, footage displays customers running through the mall and crowding onto escalators.

‘A massive fight over the new iPhone 15 took place in a queue outside the Dubai Apple Store,’ one person wrote on X. Another added: ‘The queue at Dubai Mall this morning for the #iPhone15 release is just unbelievable. What I saw last year was a joke compared to that of today.’
The chaos erupted as thousands of Apple superfans flooded stores worldwide for the official release of the iPhone 15. Cities like London, Beijing, and Bangkok saw massive crowds, as people eagerly sought to be the first to purchase the flagship device.
Just last week, Apple held its highly anticipated Wanderlust event, where CEO Tim Cook unveiled the Apple Watch Series 9 and other devices. In India, Apple fans even camped overnight to secure a spot at stores in Mumbai and Delhi, with some waiting since 3pm the previous day.
While the iPhone 15 has been met with mixed reviews since its unveiling, it has become a popular choice among consumers. The device boasts five unique colors and an upgraded rear camera. However, some critics argue that it lacks significant advancements, particularly in battery life and screen size. Both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 feature a 6.1-inch display and offer the same video playback capacity.
These queues are the culmination of months of speculation surrounding the iPhone 15. Numerous rumors and predictions flooded the internet, many of which accurately revealed details like the model’s titanium design and the replacement of the mute switch with a customizable ‘action button.’ Other surprising features include the ‘Name Drop’ function, allowing users to easily share contact details by connecting two iPhone devices together.
Despite its similarities to the iPhone 14, the iPhone 15 has sparked excitement and enthusiasm among Apple fans worldwide. The standard range of new iPhones starts at £799/$799 and boasts a new titanium frame, a USB-C charging port, and innovative artificial intelligence features.
