A young programmer in China spent two years’ salary (about $82,000) on the purchase of 99 iPhones. It was part of an elaborate wedding proposal. He placed the 99 iPhone 6s on the ground in the form of a heart. Surrounded by many friends taking many pictures from different angles, the young man asked his girlfriend for her hand in marriage. She said no.
Yahoo! Tech is offering condolences to the young man with statistics. “One in five men would actually rather have an iPhone 6 than a girlfriend.” Last year, it was only one in eight.
