It is proven that the iPhone does not go unnoticed even under a table!
Videos on social media make it easier for us to discover the weirdest and funniest stories that we might not otherwise be able to discover. One of them, which recently circulated in X, tells us a street vendor's ingenious strategy to attract customers to his food stall, using an iPhone.
Apparently, this entrepreneur realized that his business was not taking off as he hoped. So, with a spark of creativity and an iPhone in hand, he decided to launch an unconventional plan. He recorded a fake iPhone, with the screen facing down so it was easy to recognize, right under the table where he was displaying his products.. The idea was simple but effective: attract the attention of passersby in the hope that someone would stop to pick it up and, along the way, check out their food stand.

No one can resist the iPhone
The strategy worked perfectly. By sharing his experience on social networks, he demonstrated how this simple gesture managed to considerably increase the number of customers.. People were attracted by the situation and, as they approached to collect their cell phones, they ended up buying something from their stand, to hide the shame of having stopped for a completely different reason.
People's reaction to the “lost” iPhone is a clear example of our relationship with technology. And this anecdote shows us how devices, especially ones as popular as the iPhone, can trigger a series of emotional reactions in people.
No one can know with what intention these people decided to get the iPhone. Recovering it and returning it to its owner would have been the most coherent, given the little point in stealing an iPhone today, thanks to the security measures put in place by Apple.
The iPhone wins in marketing
The popularity of the iPhone means that from time to time they are the protagonists of incredible storieswhich generally highlight characteristics such as water resistance or its ability to save lives or generate scams with irremediable consequences, but it has rarely been seen that it is capable of increasing the sales of a company .
Two things can definitely be said about this situation. No one can resist an iPhone and the food seller was very creative with his strategy. Admirable or not? That's another story.
