The new generation is obsessed with looking rich rather than actually being rich, all because of social media standards and pressure from society. A young lady who understands the pressure of needing to look wealthy broke down the privileges of owning an iPhone in South Africa
Sinovuyo Mathanga shared that owning the device gains you respect because people immediately think you’re rich. Mathanga shared that she once used her gadget to receive better treatment at a restaurant:
“All of a sudden, the waitress’ attitude changed; she was checking on us every five minutes. Our service compared to the people who were sitting next to us was different. We ordered the same thing, but our portions were bigger.”
Mathanga confessed that she bought her iPhone 14 Pro for status and respect:
“It’s not just about the features of the phone, and yes, I bought it for status; I want to look like I have money.”
The lady shared her clip with the caption:
“It’s the sad truth, but it’s true.”
