The latest iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max officially went on sale in India on Friday following their launch a few days ago. Several buyers turned up outside stores to grab the latest device, waiting in long queues. Videos of the launch-day frenzy went viral on social media, drawing reactions from several users. Among them was actor Sonu Sood, who has reacted to the craze.
The actor took a jibe at the enthusiasm surrounding the new iPhone and the willingness of people to wait in long queues. Taking to X, the actor wrote, "New phone, new EMI⦠same old bills! Maybe it's time we queue up to make a difference, not just upgrade our phones. The real upgrade is a better society." Sonu, who is known for his philanthropic and social work, hinted at people helping those in need to build a better society.
Sonu's post has sparked a discussion on social media. While some users resonated with his views, others even pointed out that there was no need for people to hurry, especially since the phone would continue to be available even after its launch day.
One user said, "People can stand in queues long hours for a gadget, but the same people hesitate to stand for voting during election time." Meanwhile, another commented, "Absolutely true! Most of the Queers Salary will be less than 30k and will have to pay EMI's for years , and by the time they complete paying the EMI's phone's value will be one 5th or even zero."
On the other hand a user argued, "Why do you lot always want to regulate people? why is your tummy aching with what people are willingly doing of their own money?"
