Dispute over Face ID turns violent as viral video shows female Apple rep getting hit in the face
A 23-year old Thai man by the name of Kritpan Kitjit has been charged with Bodily Harm after he punched an Apple saleswoman in the face at a Studio7 store in Bangkok. The employee, 30-year-old Saijai Trinech, was approached by Kitjit who requested a new Apple iPhone X after claiming that the Face ID feature wasn't working on his unit.
"I'd like to apologize to the society that I overreacted. It was the heat of the moment. I've apologized to the victim, and she didn't want to take legal action."-Kriptan Kitjit
Kitjit was fined the equivalent of $150 and was ordered to pay the victim $1,500 in restitution. Meanwhile, the video has been shared over 1.4 million times on Facebook.
Apple currently doesn't have an Apple Store in Bangkok, but plans on opening one later this year.
