This Chinese student has gone to the lengths to get his hands on the
latest iPhone, offering up his girlfriend in exchange for cash to put
towards the device. Photos of the man brandishing a sign that read
“Girlfriend Sharing” appeared on the Chinese social media site Weibo
this week. And on offer is the chance to eat, study, play games or go on
dates with the woman, although it did warn there would be no “funny
business.”
According to posters on Weibo, the man claimed his girlfriend was a
willing participant in the scheme, which offered her up for 10 yuan (£1)
per hour. The identity of the man is not yet clear, though his
advertising exploits took place at Songjiang University in Shanghai.
The student’s endeavours are the latest in a string of incidents showing
the desperate lengths some people go to in order to acquire the latest
must-have Apple gadget. Earlier this week, a Saudi man reportedly asked
his prospective brother-in-law for an iPhone 6 as a dowry for marrying
his sister.
When the iPhone 5 was launched in China last year, a couple was charged
with human trafficking after allegedly selling three of their newborn
babies to pay for items that included high-end shoes and an iPhone.
