A computer company in Ukraine promised a free Apple iPhone 7 to the first five people who legally changed their name to iPhone 7. A dedicated 20-year-old man took up the store on their promotion to hand out the latest Apple device by giving up his birth name to ‘iPhone 7′ just to score an iPhone 7. The man was formerly known as Olexander Turin, and is now officially known as iPhone Sim (Seven).
When I heard how Olexander Turin took his deep passion for the iPhone 7 to the extreme, I really wanted to give him an applause. There was so much drive behind this dude’s motives. I mean, the prospect of getting his hands on Apples’ latest was enticing enough that he actually changed his name.

“It was difficult to accept that and hard to believe it’s true,” his sister Tetyana Panina told the Associated Press. “Each person in this world is looking for a way to express himself. Why not to do that in this way?”
So if you change you name to iPhone Seven officially, you can get one for free in Ukraine. #NeverExpectedSuchAnOffer @Apple #iPhone7

Some people took to Twitter to question the intelligence of such move, and also make fun of Apples’ newer design choices. Others tried to figure out how to make it work in their favor but the big question now is, how far would you go to win a free smartphone?
