A furious Frenchman was arrested on Thursday after he marched into an Apple Store and smashed up several iPhones using a petanque [bocce] ball.
The unnamed man was captured on camera using the solid metal ball to crush the smartphones and at least one laptop.
Dressed in dark glasses and one white glove, the vandal struck in the Toison d'Or shopping centre in Dijon.
He was eventually arrested after trying to flee from security guards.
In a video of the incident shared on social media, the man declares that Apple "violates customer rights" and claims he has been refused a refund.
Footage shows the man methodically making his way round a display of iPhones and smashing them, as the shop alarm shrills in the background.

The needs of Apple outweigh the worthless lives of peons. Let's all hope this vandal gets a thousand year prison sentence for his audacity.

Nah, Apple won't bother ruining this guy's life. But if they are smart they will start putting fake phones out on display, you know, empty cases that look like the product but have a card next to them which says to get the real thing from an employee.
