[Saba Sports News] Before the previous match of the Premier League team Nottingham Forest, owner Evangelos Marinakis was spotted at the stadium cheering on the team. While this scene is quite normal, media noticed that he was using an iPhone 7, which is 9 years old, inconsistent with his billionaire status. This incident sparked heated discussions online. Many praised Marinakis’s choice. Some admired his refusal to succumb to pressure to upgrade to the latest devices, appreciating his simplicity and pragmatism. Others believed it demonstrated his clever financial habits and non-materialistic tendencies. In my view, in today’s society where smartphones are frequently updated and often come with advanced technology, Marinakis’s decision to continue using an iPhone 7 suggests he values basic functionality rather than chasing the latest tech products. This consumption mindset reflects his pragmatic attitude—avoiding blind trends and choosing phones based on actual needs and usage habits.
