Beggar Buys iPhone 15: Social media is full of experiments where it has been tried and proved more than once that people often have a tendency to judge others based on looks. Proving the same yet again, a YouTuber did a social experiment where a man was dressed as a beggar and was sent to several shops to see how the shopkeepers reacted. The posed beggar also carried a bag full of coins through which he wanted to buy an iPhone 15. Most of the owners did not sell the expensive phone to the man, however, one shopkeeper, in particular, reacted a bit differently and instantly won the internet. Welcoming the beggar, the shopkeeper not only kept patience while counting the mountain of coins, but also sold him the mobile phone. The video was posted on the social media platform Instagram by the handles ‘Experiment King’ and ‘JITEN HASSANI’.
