The iPhone is a series of mobile phone products equipped with the iOS operating system that Apple began selling on January 9, 2007.
Since Apple's first iPhone was launched in 2007, the tech giant has led countless trends around the globe and become the market leader in mobile communication devices.
On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone at the Macworld conference, which completely changed the landscape of the mobile phone industry.
The original iPhone had a 3.5-inch touchscreen, built-in Safari browser, and the influential App Store.
Subsequently, on July 11, 2008, Apple launched the iPhone 3G, which was the first iPhone to support 3G network and GPS capabilities.
In addition, the iPhone 3G also introduced a paid app model in the App Store, providing developers with monetization opportunities.
On June 8, 2010, Apple released the iPhone 4, which is equipped with a Retina display with a resolution of up to 960x640.
At that time, the iPhone 4 became the benchmark of mobile phone screen technology!
But how to say it, during this period of time, it is indeed in a state of "madness", blinded by materialism.
For example, you remember a news story many years ago that someone sold one of their kidneys in order to buy an iPhone 4.
And this person back then was Wang Gang, a boy from Anhui Province, who was just a high school student.
Wang Gang was born in an ordinary family in Anhui, but as an only child, she was deeply favored by her parents, and even equipped him with a computer when the family was not financially rich.
But probably because his self-control was not very good, Wang Gang gradually became addicted to the online world, although his parents advised him many times to concentrate on his studies.
Subsequently, his parents forced him to give up the computer, and Wang just began to take his studies seriously.
However, soon Wang just entered high school and found that all his classmates had mobile phones, but he was rejected by his parents.
Later, he envied the Apple 4 mobile phone owned by others, and Wang Gang decided to buy it himself, and even planned to go to work in the summer.
It was his obsession with the iPhone that made him immersed in the Internet all day long, constantly searching for information about the Apple 4, and accidentally found an advertisement selling his kidney to make money.
This high reward attracted his attention, and he decided to undergo surgery because he was young and ignorant, believing that the loss of a kidney had no significant impact on his life.
But the other party is obviously not a good person, and after being deducted from the operation fee by the so-called intermediary, he only received 22,000 yuan in remuneration.
Then, after he bought the long-awaited Apple 4 mobile phone and iPad 2, he was indeed happy for a while.
But soon, his physical discomfort made him realize the consequences of the operation, and symptoms such as dizziness, loss of appetite, and wheezing made his life miserable.
It wasn't until he couldn't hide it anymore that his parents discovered the abnormality and finally confessed the truth. When his parents learned the truth, they were shocked and rushed him to the hospital for treatment.
But it was too late, Wang Gang's wound was seriously infected, and his body was judged to be a third-degree disability!
In order to make ends meet, my parents borrowed money from all over the place and could not afford medical expenses. Because of his momentary vanity, he paid a heavy price, which can never be remedied.
In the end, it can only be said that in the face of the temptation of material things and consumption, we should all keep a clear head, adhere to the respect for health and life, and cultivate correct values.
