iPhone gaffe that could cost Vladimir Putin’s ‘god-daughter’ £1.25m

First things first, there were a number of articles about this, but most sourced this Mirror article, and the headline made me laugh.

On to the story, from the Mirror:

Russian president Vladimir Putin’s ‘goddaughter’ may have lost an incredible £1.25million after she was caught on camera using her iPhone.

Ksenia Sobchak, a journalist, politician and reality TV show host, is the face of rival smartphone manufacturer Samsung.

But the 36-year-old was caught on camera using her iPhone X – despite trying to hide it under a sheet of paper – during a television interview.

Apparently, Sobchak’s Samsung contract requires her to only use a Samsung device when in public. Ouch.

  1. Well, a contract is a contract regardless for whom she’s working. She deserves whatever’s coming to her for breaching it.

  2. I’m inclined to wonder if Putin’s hit squad has ever gone after anyone in a South Korean chaebol.

  3. When will Sammy learn? None of their spruikers have been loyal to the brand. Even when paid to do be so.
