99 iPhones Were Used in the Saddest Public Proposal of All

Singles' Day is coming up this week in China, and one poor guy got a head start on the Nov. 11 holiday. He planned an extravagant proposal to his girlfriend by purchasing 99 iPhone 6s and placing them in the shape of the heart. Standing in the middle of the smartphones with a bouquet of flowers and friends looking on, the man asked for his partner's hand in marriage. It must have been pretty awkward when her response was . . . "no." Check out the rest of the cringeworthy pictures.

The phones cost this man $82,000, which is about two years' salary in China.

Luckily the demand for new iPhone 6 is still pretty high, so we're thinking the unlucky guy can try to sell his new surplus of smartphones.
