**Special Containment Procedures:** Production of SCP-9401 has been discontinued. The Foundation is currently working with the Apple Corporation (GOI-2805) to recall all remaining instances of SCP-9401 under Cover Story 14PO (Excessive HEV Light Emissions). Retrieved SCP-9401 instances are to be shipped to and recycled at Sunkeshartenskisson's Circuitry and Processing[[footnote]]Foundation-controlled electronic waste recycling facility located in Spongdal, Norway.[[/footnote]], with a select few kept for testing.   

In order to prevent accidental usage of an SCP-9401 instance, the Foundation advises that all current and former personnel utilize Samsung-brand smartphones in lieu of Apple-manufactured models. A comprehensive document outlining the numerous advantages of Samsung smartphones over Apple smartphones is available to all personnel upon request.

**Description:** SCP-9401 is the collective designation of approximately 2 million Apple iPhone units [[footnote]]According to factory automated production reports from 2022 to 2025.[[/footnote]] of varying models that were distributed commercially within the United States of America from a series of Apple factories that had been anomalously altered by an unknown source, labelled internally as the “iForgot.” As of 2/10/2025, a total amount of 1,590,012 SCP-9401 instances have been recovered through combined efforts from the Foundation and the Apple Corporation, with an estimated 420,000 instances still distributed among the general American public.

Anomalous properties of SCP-9401 instances manifest exclusively following prolonged usage, resulting in users exhibiting episodes of anterograde amnesia and temporary memory impairment. The nature of the amnestic effects observed varies in both intensity and duration, and seems to be heavily dependent on the user's activity on said SCP-9401 instance, with memory loss typically manifesting in domains thematically related to the subject’s activity during the period of exposure. It is noted that the user will eventually recover from the amnesia without permanent mental damage, regardless of its severity.

Numerous claims from the Apple Corporation that instances of SCP-9401 possess the anomalous ability to “subconsciously sway people into buying Samsung products” have been deemed unfounded and dismissed.

**Incident Log:** The following is a sample list of confirmed incidents attributed to the amnestic effects observed in users of SCP-9401 instances, with a significant proportion of verified incidents involving Foundation personnel.
