No other phone can beat the iPhone. Apple has given its best to design the phone, so as we all know, all the best things come with a price that is beyond our financial budget.
So let’s now read what crazy things people have done to get an iPhone. These are some true stories in which people have done all these things.
The couple who sold their baby girl.
Number 1. The couple who sold their baby girl. This Chinese couple sold their daughter for $3,500 by publishing an advertisement in the newspaper even before her birth.
When the baby was 18 days old, the father found a buyer. And when the police found out what they had done, the mother said, I did not know it was illegal.
The girl who tried to kill her mother twice.
Number 2. The girl who tried to kill her mother twice. This 12-year-old girl’s iPhone was confiscated by her mother, so one morning she decided to take revenge by putting bleach in her mother’s breakfast.
Luckily, she was treated at a local hospital. But only 4 days later, the girl did the same thing. She again put bleach in her mother’s glass of water.
But this time, the mother found out that the girl had done the wrong thing again. And only then did she find out about her daughter’s plan to kill her for taking away her iPhone.
The man who rented out his girlfriend
Number 3. The man who rented out his girlfriend. Would you share your partner just to get the latest gadget?
This man was standing outside a university holding a sign that said he was renting out his girlfriend to raise funds for the iPhone 6.
However, he did say that his funny act was not meant to be funny.
The guy who tried to drain the lake
Number 4. The guy who tried to drain the lake. When a 16-year-old boy dropped his iPhone in the lake, he asked the fishing club if he could use one of their diving suits and find it himself, but they refused.
So later that night, he returned to the lake with a powerful pump so he could drain the lake, but ended up flooding a nearby parking lot. The police came, and the boy confidently said it almost worked.
The woman who married for an iPhone.
Number 5, the woman who married for an iPhone. This woman asked for an iPhone 6 as dowry from the man who asked for her hand in marriage.
But know this: the iPhone was not for her. It was for her brother. She asked for an iPhone 6, which had not even come into the market at that time. No iPhone, no marriage.
The boy who sold one of his organs.
Number 6, the boy who sold one of his organs. This 17-year-old Chinese boy’s mother was puzzled as to how he got an iPhone, since they were poor.
So he told her that he sold his kidney. Apparently, a group of men took advantage of the boy’s desperation for an iPhone. So they gave him $3,500 in exchange for the kidney.
Whatever you read above all happened in a foreign country; now I am going to say about my country. Same situation here: people are crazy, especially a young generation; whether their parents are able to buy or not, they want an iPhone.
iPhone Costs More Than Love and Hunger
Number 7- It’s the story of an old woman who sells flowers outside a temple and has to buy an iPhone for her son; it’s so pathetic.
A woman who works hard, sells flowers outside a temple all day, and earns a maximum of Rs 500 per day got pressured by her own son just for an iPhone.
Her son gets so crazy for an iPhone that he puts so much pressure on his mother that he stops eating for 3 days. It seems to be emotional blackmail to her mother.
Seeing this, the poor woman finally had to give money to buy an iPhone. It was almost impossible for this woman to buy it, but because of her love for her son, she sacrificed her hard-earned money just for an iPhone, which has no value once it comes in her hands.
Reasons behind iPhone passion
- First of all, its marketing and intuitive advertisements attract people who dream of buying an iPhone.
- Peer Pressure: There is always a trend, especially in the young generation, that if anyone in the group buys an iPhone or any device that is trendy, then the rest of the group will also think of buying the same device. So we see nowadays that most of the young generation buys iPhones. This is a kind of peer pressure.
- Social Media: social media influencers who use iPhones to create their YouTube videos or reels on Instagram and Facebook to get good-quality images and videos.
Dark side of iPhone.
Some people did some very strange things to get an iPhone. While the purpose of technology is to make our lives simpler and better,.
The obsession to have the latest gadget can have far-reaching consequences. Such stories tell us.
Technology is made to make our lives simpler and easier, but people are so obsessed with the devices that they can go beyond limits.
This puts their health at risk, causes family tensions, and even affects mental health.
Especially parents and even high school teachers should counsel their young kids about how dangerous materialism is and even on expensive things.
This will help them to at least think before buying expensive phones and luxury items.
Buying an iPhone should be an option if you can afford it, but it is not necessary that you become so obsessed that you are driven to do extreme things.
That harms your health, relationships, and even your budget. iPhone is one of the best devices among all phones, but only if people use it for essential purposes and not to show off to others.
