Messi’s iPhone Gift Story Debunked!

So generous and grateful a footballer as he is, Lionel Messi was reported to have donated 35 iPhone 14 Pro to his Argentine teammates from the just-concluded; likewise an equally generous present worth €210,000, one that certainly befits a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner. Such had been the tasty story running for some days now, but, as it often happens, this beautiful tale had been hugely exaggerated. to favor a brand, not Apple!

Journalists at RMC Sports conducted a little investigation on their end, and as it turns out, the Argentine players have yet to receive the 35 gold iPhone 14 Pros. In fact, nobody knows if they will ever get them. This seems to be one of those stories that the company iDesign Gold has made up in order to get a massive publicity stunt. According to RMC Sport, Messi’s entourage confirmed that the Argentine star never ordered those devices, and that means his name was used without his explicit consent. What a pity, because the story was as beautiful as it was a tad flashy.
