The buyer of this iphone then published the pictures on the internet. This got the attention of the global media, which called it "a beautiful mistake"; and the Chinese girl has been hailed as "the most beautiful Chinese working girl."
British customer uploads pictures onto InternetThe British customer, who calls himself Mark M., discovered more than one pictures showing a cute Chinese girl with a beautiful smiling face on his new iphone when he activated it. Mark M. uploaded the pictures to share with other netizens out of curiosity, but did not expect the reaction that followed. This "iphone girl" who was called "the most beautiful Chinese work girl" became such a hit in just a few days. Some netizens even joked about returning their ipones, since no pictures of the girl was in theirs.
In the pictures, a round-faced Chinese girl dressed in a pink, striped uniform, is smiling and making a "V for Victory" gesture in what seems like an assembly line. It is the cute smile that appealed to the British customer immediately.
It shows Chinese optimismIt is said that the photos were in the sold phone because her colleague tested the iPhone's camera by taking her picture. Her colleague forgot to delete the photos by mistake. And then the phone was sold.
Now, the photos have spread to China. Websites named "iphone girl" have opened in succession both in and out of China and messages rave about this girl.

"It is maybe a good thing to let foreign customers know who worked hard on their products…" A Shanghai netizen said: "this smile comes from a worker in the front lines, and from which we can see the optimism of Chinese people."
A representative from Foxconn's factory in Shenzhen revealed that everyone in the company has learned about this news, and he confirmed that the "iphone girl" has not been fired. The company would not ask her to bear the responsibility; however, it would issue an explanatory notice in the near future. Relevant departments have been informing their jobs to avoid a similar occurrence.
The praise for average makersOne sociologist expressed his view about the "iphone girl." The reason that it was called as "a beautiful mistake" might satisfy the curiosity of a foreigner on one hand. On the other hand, the beautiful smile tells us indirectly that those makers are beautiful too: their hard work greatly contributes to the global economy.
