   AI-made Hormuz shipwreck iPhone videos drew 80M views, then media

   A video purporting to show a cargo ship burning and sinking in the Strait of Hormuz with Apple iPhone boxes bobbing in the sea accumulated more than 80 million views, but fact-checkers found it was AI-generated. Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority said a Singapore-registered vessel was hit by an unidentified projectile on Oct 13 and sank, with all 21 crew safely evacuated; its notice gave no cargo manifest. According to IT之家, citing 红星新闻, open-source researchers used reverse search to trace the widely shared "Iranians salvaging iPhones" clips to an Instagram account, Nativora, which posted them on Oct 16 and itself labelled them "AI Content" as part of its AI-fiction output. 虎嗅 AI criticised some Chinese outlets for reporting the iPhone cargo as established fact and for turning a customer-service call — in which a representative said the company had no notice and would act "if the situation is true" — into an Apple response.
