Man Changes His Name To iPhone 7 To Get One For Free

A Ukrainian man has changed his name to iPhone 7  in order to win himself the coveted gadget.

Olexander Turin changed his name to ”iPhone Sim (Seven)” after probably thinking an affidavit to legally do so wouldn’t make much impact to his account balance as an iPhone 7 would.

It all started when an electronics store in Ukraine dared customers to change their names to that of the brand and get the smartphone free of charge – This was to be granted to the first five customers that would do so.

Sim accepted the challenge and changed his name to secure the prize.

According to a report by the Associated Press, the 20-year-old got his promised prize after he legally changed his name.

The report also added that the cost of iPhone 7 in the country is $850, while he spent mere $2 on the procedure to change his name.

He also said that he is in no hurry to change his name back and he would only do so “when he has children”.

Shocking the world and his family with his decision, Sim has now become an Internet sensation. His friends and family now are all supportive of his wacky decision.

His sister Tetyana Panina said, “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?”
