Ukranian Man Changes His Name To iPhone To Win The Handset
Olexander Turin is now called the iPhone and has a passport as a proof.
No matter how good the Android devices get, the iPhone remains to aspire the masses. We have already seen people from China selling their organs to buy the latest iPhone. We already know how far people are willing to go to own Apple's smartphone. So when an electronics store in Ukraine offered the latest Apple product to the first five people who change their name to iPhone, you shouldn't be surprised to know that a 20 year Olexander Turin did that without hesitation.
According to the story published in Komonews.com, the price of the latest iPhone starts at equivalent of Rs 57,000 in Ukraine. On the other hand, the procedure to change the name requires you to spend only around Rs 120.
The guy is now called iPhone Sim. In Ukranian language Sim stands for 7. According to the local news sources, iPhone Sim's friends and family were shocked by his decision. However, eventually they supported him. His sister, Tetyana stated that "it was difficult to accept that and hard to believe it's true. Each person in this world is looking for a way to express himself. Why not to do that in this way?"
When asked whether he is going to continue with the new name, iPhone Sim said that he would probably change his name back to the original before starting a family.
