14 DAY TRIAL // Just like its predecessors, the iPhone 7 is one very expensive piece of technology, but despite this, it still sells like hot cakes pretty much all over the world.
In Ukraine, the growing demand for the iPhone 7 has led to a campaign that you certainly don’t find every day. Local retailer Allo is giving away 5 black iPhone 7 units to people who change their names to “Sim iPhone” (this is the equivalent of iPhone Seven in Ukrainian).
What you need to do is to first change your name and then send a selfie with your passport to prove that the name change indeed took place. If you qualify for the giveaway, you then have to pay a visit to an Allo store, again with your passport, to claim your free iPhone.
Only the first five people changing names getting free iPhones
Only the first 5 contestants are eligible for the giveaway, so you'd better rush to the Ministry of Names (Friends fans probably know what we’re talking about) and change your name. It’s not known if anyone took advantage of this offer until now, but we wouldn’t be too surprised if all free iPhones are already claimed anyway given the craze for this new model.
It goes without saying that changing your name to iPhone 7 is quite extreme, but we’ve heard of Apple fanboys doing even more than that, so it’ll certainly be interesting to watch how this ends.
As PA writes, an iPhone costs as much as four and a half average salaries in Ukraine, so getting the new iPhone 7 for free is clearly an offer you can’t refuse. Changing names is free anyway, obviously without document taxes, so it’s quite an effective way to get the iPhone 7.
If you’re wondering, the iPhone 7 is indeed a worthy upgrade for Apple fanboys, but paying nearly $1,000 for the upgrade might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Find out everything about the new models in our iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus reviews.
