Nigerian actress Nkechi Blessing recently shared an unexpected reason for her phone choice during a widely watched podcast.
She revealed that she specifically opted for the iPhone 16 Pro Max to call her son, explaining that using a different model could have sparked criticism from the public.
Nkechi stated,
“I chose the iPhone 16 Pro Max to call my son on the podcast because if I had used the iPhone 17, people might have said it’s XR or that I’m showing off.”
The actress, who also mentioned that she apprehended the person responsible for leaking her gym photo, disclosed that she actually owns three iPhone models in succession: the 15, 16, and 17 two of which are not yet available for public purchase.
“I have the iPhone 15, 16, and 17 altogether,” she confirmed.
