This is just nuts, if you pardon the bad pun. We know iPhones and other Apple devices are coveted status symbols in China, but parting with a vital organ to pony up money to raise money for one is surreal even for them.
In a bizarre incident, two men in China’s eastern Jiangsu Province apparently tried to sell their kidney for Apple’s latest offering, the iPhone 6s. One of the men identified as Wu, wanted an iPhone 6s but could not afford it. His friend Huang suggested they sell a kidney each for money.
The two found an illegal agent on the internet who asked them to take medical examinations at a hospital in Nanjing, state-run China Daily reported.
However, when they arrived at a hospital, the agent did not turn up as promised. They later reconsidered selling the organs. Wu told his friend, Huang, to stop the plan but Huang did not listen.
Wu then called the police, but Huang ran away and has been out of reach ever since.
Why couldn’t they’ve just settle for a Xiaomi?
