This is Why Chinese Companies Banned Workers From Buying iPhone 7 Or Face Being Sacked

While many people all over the world are desperate of buying latest Apple flagships - iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus , some company workers in China are banned from owning the apple phones. This means some millions of people in China won't be getting the new iPhone 7 devices.

According to the BBC, many employers in China have started issuing warnings that workers caught purchasing the 'expensive' iPhone 7 will face several punishments such as being laid off/sacked, being forced to resign, being forced to return the phone for a cheaper one or being denied promotion in the workplace.

WORKERS ARE BEING ENCOURAGED NOT TO “ACQUIRE AN APPLE HABIT”

REASON WHY CHINESE EMPLOYERS ARE BANNING STAFF FROM BUYING IPHONE 7
The move is targeted at making employees live within their means according to the employers and people who spoke with the BBC.
In China, iPhone 7 costs up to three times the average salary of a company worker and these companies see it as a display of
extravagance to buy the device.

Chinese are known for being crazy about iPhone devices to the extent of some of them selling some of their body parts like Kidneys in other to buy iPhone 6 when it was released sometime ago. You can read read how Chinese men are donating sper-m in other to buy iPhone 6. Yes that's how far they can go in other to get a trending Apple phone.

What do you think about this? As for me, it's simply a bridge of one's right to freedom.
