Has Jimmy Lin received an iPhone 9?

The actor’s Weibo post was reportedly published through an iPhone 9

Has Jimmy Lin received an iPhone 9?

Taiwanese entertainer Jimmy Lin has been known to be among the first to receive Apple’s new products prior to its official launch, with one of his latest Weibo posts sparking debate among netizens if an iPhone 9 launch is on the horizon.

Weibo has a special feature which displays the device from which the users’ respective posts are published from, and his recent post of himself sending his son to school was tagged with “posted from Pro9iPhone”.

He is well-known to be an avid supporter of Apple products, and recent rumours have stated that the iPhone 7 is widely expected to be released on September 7. With this new post, they believe that he’s managed to get his hands on the new product.

Some, however, have been bewildered at the sudden jump in generations as the latest model available commercially is the iPhone 6s.

In response to the speculation, Jimmy took down and reposted his message, this time with the tag “posted from does-it-matter-which-generation-it-is iPhone”, amusing fans to no end.

He also clarified through his manager that he was merely playing around with his fans as Weibo has a function for users to change the tagging function to their liking, and that he has not received any new products from Apple.
