A heart-warming moment unfolded in Bengaluru when a son surprised his mother with a brand-new iPhone 15 for Diwali. He shared that she had been using an old Redmi phone for four years, which he said was “living its last days.” It had always been his dream to give her an iPhone, and during this festive season, he finally made it happen.
In the video, as he handed her the beautifully wrapped present, she was filled with disbelief and emotion as she unwrapped the surprise.
The son shared this touching moment on X, saying, “I almost broke into tears. So mom has been using her old Redmi phone for the past 4 years and it was living its last days. So, this Diwali, I decided to gift her iPhone 15. I always prayed for a day when I could gift my mom an iPhone. That day is today.”
In a follow-up tweet, he also said, “The timing aligned as they planned for a Kashmir trip… now both the cuties can have super sharp memories captured.”
