A
very romantic man has shocked his girlfriend and onlookers after he
staged a grand marriage proposal to her with 25 brand new iPhone Xs.
Chen Ming, a young video-game designer from Shenzen, China, recently
sparked the envy of iPhone fans all around the world, after buying 25
brand new iPhone X smartphones and arranging them in a heart shape to
propose to his girlfriend.
To
pull of the over-the-top marriage proposal, Chen Ming pre-ordered 25
iPhone Xs, and, on November 3, when the newest Apple handheld officially
launched in China, he arranged them all in the shape of a heart on a
bed of red rose metals, with an engagement ring in the middle.
To
make sure that his girlfriend didn’t suspect a thing, Chen enlisted the
help of her friends, asking them to bring her to the specified location
of the surprise.
Photos of the romantic iPhone X display recently went viral on
Chinese social media, leaving people wondering why anyone would spend so
much money on a bunch of phones when they could have bought a new car
or put a down payment on a house for the same amount.
Prices
for the iPhone X start at 8,388 yuan in mainland China, which means
Chen must have spent at least 210,000 yuan ($31,500) on them.
Chen
Ming should consider himself lucky that his girlfriend accepted to be
his wife. Three years ago, another Chinese man got turned down after
spending nearly $100,000 on a stack of iPhone 6 phones, because his
girlfriend wanted diamonds instead.
