Apple has in place stringent quality control standards on the assembly line floor to prevent mistakes in production, but that doesn't mean they don't happen.
Images shared on Twitter reveal a iPhone 11 Pro prototype with a misaligned Apple logo on the back of the device, a misprint that is said to be as rare as 1 in a million.
The images, posted by Internal Archive, clearly show the Apple logo is slightly off-center, canted up from the base, and closer to the right side than it should be.
The Internal Archive, which often shares images of Apple prototypes, claims the misprint could "possibly be even rarer" than 1 in a million, which apparently made the device a sought-after item – it recently sold for $2,700, according to the Twitter account.
Defective Apple products do make it out of the factory from time to time, but multiple devices are usually caught up in production faults, so it's unusual for a single impacted device like this to see the light of day – and even more uncommon for someone to pay over the odds for one.
