Panel 1
*Setting: Alex's home office, cluttered with tech gadgets and papers. Alex is sitting at a desk, iPhone 18 Pro Max in hand, looking frustrated.* Alex (muttering to himself)
Alex: This thing is supposed to be the future, and I can't even get an SOS call through on AT&T. How hard can that be?
Panel 2
*Setting: Sam's living room, where Alex and Sam are sitting on a couch, laptops open, troubleshooting together.* Sam (dryly) Alex (brightening)
Sam: So, Apple just confirmed there's a hardware issue with the iPhone 18 Pro Max on AT&T. They’re sending out free replacements.
Alex: Oh, brilliant! I can just swap it out and everything will work perfectly, right?
Panel 3
*Setting: A tech repair shop, Robin is holding up a box of replacement iPhone 18 Pro Maxes behind the counter. Alex and Sam are standing beside her, looking bewildered.* Robin (cheerfully) Alex (sheepishly) Sam (nodding)
Robin: Here you go, guys. It’s your lucky day. You get to go through this whole ordeal again with a brand new bug!
Alex: Maybe the future isn’t quite ready for us yet.
Sam: Or maybe it’s just a reminder that we’re still human, even with all this fancy tech.
