In a trending social experiment that recently unfolded in Jodhpur, India, a man disguised as a beggar attempted to acquire the highly coveted iPhone 15 with an unconventional payment method. The intriguing encounter was captured in a video that has since been shared on the 'Experiment King' Instagram channel.
India is no stranger to iPhones being held in high regard as status symbols, often deemed too expensive for the average consumer. In an attempt to gauge the reactions of local shopkeepers when faced with an unorthodox buyer, 'Experiment King' orchestrated this fascinating experiment.
The video showcases a man who meticulously dresses as a beggar, complete with ragged attire, and embarks on a mission to purchase the latest iPhone. Armed with a sack filled with an assortment of coins, he approaches several mobile showrooms in Jodhpur.
As the beggar makes his way to the stores, he is met with a mixed reception. Some mobile shopkeepers refuse him entry, likely due to his disheveled appearance, while others flatly decline the coins as a form of payment. However, the experiment takes an unexpected turn when one shopkeeper agrees to entertain this unique payment method.
With a sense of intrigue and a touch of amusement, the man unceremoniously empties the sack of coins onto the shop floor, presenting the pile to the shopkeeper and the accompanying staff. Subsequently, the video captures the shopkeepers as they diligently count the coins, an endeavor that elicits raised eyebrows and curious glances.
Once the tally is complete, the beggar seizes the iPhone 15, inspecting it with a mix of excitement and curiosity. He even takes a moment to pose for a picture with the shop owner, much to the surprise of onlookers. This social experiment sheds light on the boundaries and perceptions surrounding luxury consumer goods in a society where they are often beyond the reach of the common man.Â
