People are amazed to see this video that the shopkeeper so easily converts the iPhone 12 into the iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, people who know technology have made it clear that this is just a trick.
Users commented on video on social media
Tech experts say that model name can be edited in iPhone software. This is the reason that the shopkeeper shows the iPhone 12 like the iPhone 17 Pro Max. But the real features of the phone, camera quality, processor and battery remain the same. That is, the phone will look new from outside, but in reality it will remain old.
Many comments are coming on this video on social media. Someone wrote – I wish it had been so easy, by now my phone would have become iPhone 20. At the same time, another user jokingly said – Brother, tell the address of the shop, I also have to upgrade my phone.
