Lady Netizen Unsure How to Break the News to Her Best Friend About a Fake iPhone
Lady netizen is struggling and doesn’t know how to tell her best friend that the iPhone she bought is fake.
Recently, the unreliable narrator, a Reddit user, shared her dilemma online after discovering that her best friend had unknowingly bought a fake iPhone. The post garnered various reactions from the online community.
According to the uploader, her best friend had always dreamed of owning an iPhone. After getting their first jobs, they both agreed not to rely on their parents and instead work hard for the things they wanted.
So when her best friend finally bought what she believed to be an iPhone 13 Pro for P23,000 through Facebook Marketplace, she was over the moon. They met at the mall, and that’s when things started to feel off.
The phone looked like an iPhone, but the moment it was turned on, Android features started showing up icons, navigation bar, and even the Google Play Store. Instead of the familiar Apple logo during startup, it displayed “Powered by Android.”
Her best friend, still unaware, proudly showed off the phone and was already calling herself an iOS user. She even planned to video call later using “Facetime,” not realizing the phone didn’t even support Apple’s system.
The lady netizen didn’t want to spoil her friend’s joy, especially since she had only ordered siomai for lunch, hinting she was low on funds. Still, she eventually told her the truth with the help of her older sister, who’s an actual iPhone user.
Her friend was heartbroken and scolded by her father, and now they’re trying to find the seller. While it was a tough lesson, it also became a reminder to be extra careful when buying gadgets online.
