Hello Gadgettes

This device can make your iPhone bigger

Now, does this mean we will all now get ads for products that promise to grow our iPhones by three inches… even if we don’t have an iPhone?
This would be just like you ladies getting ads to grow it by three inches even though you don’t have an it.
