5-Foot iPhone Headstone Erected In Russia

People visiting a Russian cemetery were surprised when they saw a unique headstone that is unlike anything they had ever seen before. It’s a headstone in the shape of an iPhone that stands 5 feet tall, and towers over all of the surrounding headstones in the area and immortalizes the woman who rests there.

It’s made out of a black stone with white highlights. But it’s not just the headstone that’s shaped like an iPhone, complete with the home button, earphone speaker, volume buttons, and even the Apple logo on the back. It has an image of the deceased, 25-year old Rita Shameeva, in the screen area.

Apparently, the headstone was erected earlier this year to commemorate the passing of Shameeva who died in January 2016. Headstones like this are not a common thing so people were a bit shocked to see it. Some people are very attached to their phones these days, so why not? I’m surprised that Steve Jobs doesn’t have this as his tombstone.

One visitor said, “I thought I was having hallucinations. How can an American smartphone suddenly appear at our cemetery? And such a big one?” I’m honestly surprised that we don’t see this kind of thing more often.
