Oekraïner verandert zijn naam in iPhone 7

Een 20-jarige Oekraïner heeft zijn naam officieel laten veranderen om iPhone Sim (Zeven). Oleksander Toerin deed dat om in het bezit te komen van een iPhone 7. Het prijzige mobieltje - vanaf 774 euro - was door een elektronicawinkel beloofd aan de eerste vijf personen die hun naam zouden veranderen in iPhone Sim. Hij kreeg z'n smartphone vrijdag uitgereikt.

De naamsverandering kostte hem nog geen twee euro. De jonge Oekraïner zegt dat hij wellicht in de toekomst zijn oude naam weer gaat aannemen. ''Als ik kinderen krijg.''
