Dude buys iPhone XS in Russia, pays with a bathtub full of coins

Well, enter Russia, the year 2018, a group of young men and a bathtub full of coins. And one very, very unhappy store clerk.

At least this is what the picture above portrays, according to Ludmila Semushina, head of the Apple — re:Store, an authorized Apple device seller in Russia. The group of men carried a full-sized bath tub full of coins with the intention to buy one brand new iPhone XS. There was approximately 100,000 Russian rubles in the tub, which amounts to more than $1,400 US dollars, which is the exact price of the iPhone XS with 256GB of storage in question.

And if you wondered why there is a whole group of men waiting for the new phone, well, the reason is simple: it took that many people to carry the heavy bathtub inside the store. With all this, congratulations to the buyer and condolences to the clerk who had to count the coins.
