Scrap Dealer Surprises Internet By Gifting Son iPhone 16

In a viral video that’s captured everyone’s attention, a scrap dealer proudly flaunts not one, but two high-end iPhones. Earlier this month, Apple launched its highly anticipated iPhone 16 series, sparking a wave of excitement across India. But this man’s story stood out. With a smile on his face, he revealed how he splurged ₹85,000 on an iPhone for himself and gifted his son the latest iPhone 16, priced at ₹1.5 lakh, as a reward for topping his board exams. Holding his prized phone, he spoke about his profession, defying stereotypes with every word.

As the scrap dealer’s story went viral, social media users praised his hard work and dedication. Many admired his ability to afford such expensive gadgets, while others couldn’t help but wonder how he managed it. Though he remained tight-lipped about his earnings, the curiosity didn’t stop there — some even boldly asked for details about his bank balance, intrigued by his success.

The handle that shared the video on X (formerly Twitter) captioned it, “Father’s Priceless Gift: Junk Dealer Gifts Multiple iPhones worth Rs 1.80 Lakh to Son For Top Board Results.”

Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “The amount of happiness he has received on his son topping the boards is far more than iPhone’s price.”

Another shared, “Can’t even fathom how much he had toiled for this money and he chose to spend it on his son. Hats off.”

“Ye bhi iPhone le sakta hai aur ek main Vivo se upgrade hi nahi ho paa raha. (Even he can buy iPhone, but I can’t even upgrade from my Vivo,” a comment read.

Another user wrote, “Nothing can match a father’s love. His sacrifices are finally paying off.”

An individual shared, “I want to know his bank balance man.

One more added, “Real hero.”

Apple’s launched the iPhone 16 series, featuring the 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, on September 9. While the devices boast numerous cutting-edge features, it’s the customisable action button that has stolen the show. This button lets users perform multiple tasks with just a tap, including functioning as a camera shutter. When the phones became available in India on September 20, excitement hit fever pitch — some fans waited over 21 hours outside stores just to get their hands on the latest models.
