TK Maxx shoppers have been rushing to buy a hugely discounted Apple product – but there’s a catch.
The store is famous for selling big name brands at bargain prices and fans regularly share their finds on social media.

One TikTok user took to the app with a clip from their local store after finding it was selling authentic iPhone Wallets for £42 less than the retail price.
In the clip it shows the user, Highstreet_closet, picking up one of many Apple wallets on display.
The label attached to the packaging of the leather wallet shows a £59 RRP price followed by the TK Maxx price of £16.99.
There are various colours shown including black, tan, orange, and navy.
The wallet features strong built-in magnets that allow it to effortlessly snap into place on the back of your iPhone and hold up to three credit cards.
The video has over a 11,000 likes and dozens of comments from excited shoppers calling the finds “bargains”.
Although, some social media users were quick to point out that there is a slight catch.
These iPhone wallets don’t have the “Find My” function that allows users to track it so you can be notified of the last known location if it gets separated from your phone.

The latest models released by Apple have this built in.
Meanwhile, on Facebook another bargain hunter posted the wallet on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
The shopper pointed out that the label includes the number two – which TK Maxx fans know means it’s a “genuine bargain“.
That’s because items marked with a two have been reduced from the original price, and not just brought in originally at that amount.
It’s important to remember when shopping at Tk Maxx that stock and prices do vary from store to store.
No two shops are the same and neither is what they offer.
Also, just because it sounds like a bargain doesn’t always mean it is – always make sure to shop around before you make a purchase so you know you’re getting the best deal.
You can find the full range of wallets on the Apple website for £59.
We also couldn’t find any cheaper prices at other retailers either, although you can buy non-Apple ones for similar prices.
As always, make sure to use tools like Google shopping to compare prices online.
When ordering items to be delivered make sure to factor in delivery charges.
Meanwhile, we spoke to a former TK Maxx worker who revealed their top tips for bargain hunting.
Plus, how to find the “secret codes” on labels.
