Accidental iPhone Photos Turn China Factory Worker Into Celebrity
In a story that seems ripe to be translated into a modern-day cinematic update of 'Annie,'
a Chinese woman has gone from factory worker to national celebrity after her photo was
accidentally loaded onto an Apple iPhone -- and into the hands on an unsuspecting new
owner.
According to company spokesperson Liu Kun, the woman was snapped by her coworker,
an iPhone quality tester in manufacturer Foxconn's factory in Shenzhen. She smiled and
made a peace sign for the camera, and her colleague apparently forgot to delete the photo
from the phone. It was sold in Britain shortly thereafter, and the owner immediately posted
the images on the Web.
According to Liu, the woman was "unsettled" by the sudden fame, after her photo graced
Web sites and newspapers around the world. Fortunately, her bosses have assured her
that her job was safe, and that the company wouldn't release her personal information to
the public.
"Even passers-by recognize her face and can't help noticing her," Liu said. "She is quite
nervous right now because she never experienced this much attention." It's not the first time
such a thing has happened, but Kun insists that his company is working with Apple to prevent
such accidents in the future.
"Small mistakes are unavoidable," he said. "I would call this a beautiful mistake."
