What surprised him was the phone being used by the vendor to collect payments, which appeared to be a real iPhone 17 Pro Max.

In the clip, the vendor says he uses the phone to accept digital payments from customers. The creator also takes a look at the interface, which appears consistent with an iPhone. 

Along with reacting to the device, he also praises the taste of the golgappe and gives the stall a shout-out in the video.

How Are Premium Phones Reaching More People Today?

The clip has also started a wider discussion online about how expensive smartphones are becoming. One major reason is the availability of EMI options. 

With repayment plans extending up to two years, many people can buy costly devices without paying the full amount at once. At the same time, such plans can also increase financial pressure for some.

Another reason is the strong second-hand market for premium phones. Pre-owned devices are now easier to find, and they often cost much less than new models. Because of these options, premium smartphones are no longer limited to one type of buyer, and are increasingly visible in everyday businesses too.
