Crazy Apple fans tried to sell their kidneys for iPhone 6s

How much do you want an iPhone 6s? Probably not as much as the two Chinese men in China’s eastern Jiangsu Province, who reportedly attempted to sell a kidney to buy Apple’s latest must-have handset.

 
The bizarre story claims that friends Wu and Huang decided to sell a kidney each to get the money for an iPhone (mistake #1), and found an illegal agent on the Internet (mistake #2) who would help them.
 
 
The agent advised them to go to a hospital in Nanjing for medical examinations, although he pulled a no-show. By this point, Wu apparently had second thoughts: somehow getting it into his head that the whole plan sounded sketchy, and altogether a bit silly, really.
 
He tried to talk Huang out of it, but Huang refused to listen, prompting Wu to call the police. At this point, Huang fled and has been out of contact ever since.
 
This story would, frankly, sound totally unbelievable, were it not that things like this have happened before. In the kind of Breaking Bad spinoff we can imagine running as original programming on the new Apple TV, earlier this year a 21-year-old Chinese man was accused of orchestrating a crystal meth deal in order to pay for an Apple Watch.
 
I totally understand lusting after the latest Apple gadget, but — seriously — don’t lose a vital organ, or risk a life in prison, for it. Especially not when the iPhone 7 is already being talked about in hushed, reverent terms.

That's just stupid... If you like apple just go and buy and iphone 5 for  £100 and be happy. There is no way a simple user will see any performance difference between them and there will be no need to sell your f*cking body parts... I don't see apple as special or better, but I like the design of some models. I had my first iphone 2g for 5 years until I upgraded to iphone 5 and I don't see the point of buying iphone every 1 or 2 years. Bought a new battery for my iphone and BAM a new phone. The battery cost me  £3.5...

P.S. Jailbreak your iphone and you will have full control over your phone

Considering that people will almost freeze to death to be one of the first people to get an Apple product......
