• A local man has stirred up a few less-than-positive reactions online after sharing a snap of the new iPhone he just bought his bae
• It's clear the man is very proud of himself for managing to pay for the pricey device
• Many social media users, however, are not convinced the post is real and have headed to the comments section to share their thoughts

A local man has left South African social media users with a sour taste in their mouths after sharing a snap of the iPhone he just bought for his girlfriend. The Twitter flex certainly back-fired as many have passionately insinuated that he may be projecting a false lifestyle.

The controversial post was shared by Twitter user, @Ndi_Muvenda_ who shared a pic of the new cellphone along with this caption:

"Yesterday I Took My Girlfriend to iStore and bought her a new iPhone," along with a red heart emoji and a big black tick.

It's clear the young man felt immense pride for managing to afford the expensive purchase. The image displays his girlfriend and her freshly manicured hands holding the pricey iPhone as his foot peeps into frame from the right-hand corner.

Social media users, however, were not as impressed by the phone. Many noticed the man had shared his post from a much cheaper Android device, accusing him of living out of his means to impress the partner.

Still, others felt the post was completely false and felt they had seen the exact images before.
