Apple iPhone 15 Pro pre-order trend quickly saw initial delivery times slip well into November, suggesting strong demand. This is so despite the fact that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the most-expensive model in the series. Four iPhone 15 models became available for pre-booking on Friday in several countries. The high-end Pro Max model, for which the price starts at $1,199, saw its first deliveries slip from Sept. 22 to as late as mid-November in the US after pre-orders began at 5 a.m. in California. Pre-Orders for the blue and block iPhone Pro Max models saw delays as late as Oct. 16, while the natural and white models were delayed to Nov. 13. Delays affected all storage capacities of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Twitch Streamer Lets Viewers Flashbang, Abuse Him For Money
28.08.2023 - 14:37 / thegamer.com / Bill Gates
Bill Gates was once quoted as saying, "The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow." I can't actually find a source for this, so it might just be one of those fake lines that gets passed around until we just accept it as fact. But regardless of who said it, I do believe that these words are worth reflecting on before we get to today's big story: a man sitting in a closet and letting his audience abuse him for money.
That's right, for three days now, Twitch streamer IZIDORE has allowed his viewers to throw eggs and ping-pong balls at him, and even flashbang him if they feel like it. They're also blasting irritating sounds and music, so he can't even relax. As I tune in now (he's still live) he's drinking some sort of mystery liquid for sustenance, and showing viewers what he has for dinner: packets of something containing tuna. He's bringing in the money, that's for sure. But the stakes are incredibly high - if he fails, he'll total his car.

I don't even know where to begin with this, other than thanking Dexerto for bringing it to our attention. Otherwise, I'll just have to describe what I'm seeing on screen right now, in case you were unfortunate enough to miss the stream.
IZIDORE seems agitated. As you'd expect from someone who's getting flashbanged every minute or so. Of course, it's not a real flashbang, but having your tiny room suddenly fill with light and an ear-piercing screech is nasty enough. He's sat cross-legged on the floor, shirtless, and complaining about all of the video game song parodies that are being played to him by Twitch chat. He seems to hate this more than the flashbangs at this point.
So, why is IZIDORE doing this? Well, this isn't his first time suffering for Twitch chat. Going through his YouTube channel, we can see a pattern emerge with the video titles. "I let Twitch Chat gamble FOR ME," reads one. "TWITCH LOCKED ME IN A CAGE FOR 24 HOURS," says another. With that in mind, IZIDORE is probably better equipped than most to get through this ordeal.
At the time of writing, IZIDORE has a little under 65 hours to go until the stream is over. Of course, he can give up before then, but then he has to destroy his car, which doesn't sound great either. Oh well, hopefully the money is worth it.
