Labubu doll has her own iPhone 17 Pro — 'Tim Cook Labubu'

In a delightful surprise, Apple CEO Tim Cook was gifted a one-of-a-kind Labubu doll resembling himself, complete with a tiny iPhone 17 Pro in its paw, during a visit to Pop Mart's 'The Monsters' 10th anniversary exhibition in Shanghai.

The custom doll, created by Kasing Lung, the visionary behind the popular Labubu character, captures Cook's iconic style down to the last detail — fluffy white fur, round spectacles, a navy polo shirt, slim black jeans, crisp white sneakers and that unmistakable grin.

Cook was thrilled with the gift, gushing on Weibo, "Very happy to be back in Shanghai! I loved seeing how he creates his characters on iPad Pro—including Labubu, who now has her own new iPhone 17 Pro in Cosmic Orange!" He even promised to display the doll proudly on his desk.

Kasing Lung, who uses an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil to create his iconic characters, demonstrated his digital art process during the meeting. He also drew a sketch of Cook meeting Labubu, which quickly went viral on Chinese social media.
