Ghanaian woman rants about iPhone 17 usage
She further recounted a moment involving her supposed aunt that still baffled her.
According to her, this aunt, whom she jokingly claimed “does not even know how to use a phone properly,” had somehow managed to purchase an iPhone 17 Pro Max for herself.
Adding to her surprise, the aunt had reportedly bought a second one for her son, who is only in Class 6.
In her words:
“She has bought a phone for him, an iPhone 17 Pro Max. I, who am speaking, am not even using that phone. You, Kwabena, you are using an iPhone 17 Pro Max. What do you use it for?”
The lady, mixing frustration with humour, admitted that she was “jealous” and could not understand why a Class 6 pupil would need the latest high-end smartphone.
In her rant, she jokingly advised the young boy to put the device aside and focus on his books.
In her words:
“Kwabena, marry your books and give birth to success. Leave the iPhone and go and learn.”
