If you’re planning an elaborate proposal, you should probably know the girl is going to say “yes.”
That was not the case for one Chinese programmer, Sina Technology reports. The unnamed man decided to spend two years of savings on 99 iPhone 6s—costing an estimated $85,000—arrange them in the shape of a heart, and then very publicly propose to his girlfriend.
And… she reportedly said no.

It’s probably safe to assume this newly single programmer will not be buying himself an iPhone.
