Chinese lady who sold 20 iPhones
A check by Briefly News, however, traced the original story to a 2016 post made by the BBC.
It confirmed that the story indeed happened in China and the lady was simply identified by the pseudonym, Xiaoli.
According to the story, Xiaoli is not from a rich background, so she probably used an interesting method to buy a house for her parents.

The resourceful woman sold all of the iPhone 7s, which was the latest in 2016, to Hui Shou Bao at £14,500 (about N7.8 million at today's exchange rate).
Hui Shou Bao, a mobile phone recycling company confirmed buying the phones from the young lady.

The young lady was a good sport when people made fun of her online and responded to the many comments about how petty her ex-boyfriend was.
She sarcastically said that she didn't care that her relationship was surface-level and couldn't withstand the language barrier and added a distressed emoji at the end
