Despite confirming she owns a brand-new iPhone 16, Tonto confessed she’s hesitant to use it due to lingering anxiety tied to receiving high-end phone gifts, implying that such gifts come with too much pressure or scrutiny.
“This is a family call-out,” she added. “I have 1 brand new iPhone 16. The fear of using phone gifts is giving me anxiety… That will never be me.”
Her post sparked laughter and reactions among fans, many of whom could relate to the growing obsession with owning the latest gadgets and the friendly rivalry that sometimes comes with family interactions on social media.
