Jeridah had ordered a sleek and luxurious phone for her firstborn daughter, Norah Zawadi, in the US.
Norah desired an iPhone 13—one of the most popular luxury smartphones in Apple’s lineup.
Unfortunately, the excitement didn’t last. Norah received a fake iPhone, leaving her shocked and disappointed.
"Online shopping scam. Pesa yangu imeenda tu hivyo aki🥲🥲
"Ever had an online shopping shocker when the item was delivered?" Jeridah asked her followers.
Jeridah drives for 30 minutes in US
She explained her frustration after her daughter insisted they drive for 30 minutes to pick up the package.
Jeridah noted that driving that far in the US wasn’t an easy task and admitted she was furious.
“Driving 30 minutes in America is a long distance. I am so mad. So very, super, seriously mad,” she said.
Norah sat in the back seat of their Toyota with the package—a brown box—on her lap, ready to unbox it.
Norah excited to unbox her new phone
Her eyes beamed with joy despite her mother expressing frustration over the long drive.
“What?” Jeridah was interrupted by her daughter’s exclamation, as she paused and looked behind.
Norah had pulled out a phone wrapped in blue cellotape, but it didn’t look like what she had ordered.
She stared at the black device in shock and confusion while her mother laughed at her disappointment.
Norah Zawadi's sister shocked by sister's iPhone unboxing
“She has unboxed her phone. Yes, it does not look like an iPhone. That’s an iPhone? What is it?” Jeridah asked, also seemingly shocked
Norah dug back into the box, hoping it was a mistake or a prank.
Her younger sister, who was recording the moment, was also surprised by the phone that had been delivered.
“Let me find my way back home,” Jeridah said, still laughing at her daughter.
Family counsellor Jane Murimi Mugo urged parents to be careful when handling tech gadgets to their kids.
"Technology has positives and negatives. I want to derive the model of Abel Mutua and his wife who before they gave their daughter her first smart gadget, they had a sit with her and also made it clear they would be monitoring her usage. There is a lot happening in the world now and kids can access almost anything at the tap of a screen.
A parent should know at what age they can trust their kids with smart gadgets, be it an iPad, tablet or smartphone or laptop. There should be measures and boundaries put in place," she tod TUKO.co.ke.

Social media users were intrigued by the video and flocked to the comment section to react:

robb.innah:
“I can't see the phone in its original box—or am I blind? Why was it wrapped in tape though? Pole sana, Norah. Would like to see Neema’s reaction.”
justlinda25:
“Lakini, it’s mum’s laughter for me. I’d do the same. Why do we laugh at our kids, though?”
pnpettigrew:
“Jeridah was so mad about driving for 30 minutes, but after she saw the phone… that laughter yawa.”
