What does “iPhone kupi” mean, and what other names does the trend have?
Updated:
Short answer
“Kupi” is the Russian word for “buy”, which turns “iPhone kupi” into “buy an iPhone”, a line from “Bare Minimum”. The gag is a flex: a phone that will not stop unfolding, a fur coat, a hotel suite. Searches also include iPhone kupi AI, foldable phone dance and hotel phone dance.
Other names
- iPhone kupi
- iPhone kupi AI
- iPhone Kupi Dance trend
- Foldable phone dance
- Hotel phone dance
The meaning
Bigger screen, bigger swagger: that is the whole gag, and the name is borrowed from the lyric. Ozil Goal AI is unconnected to Apple, Win William, Sabi and MIA BOYKA, and the phone in your video is generic.
Questions people ask
Is this an advert for Apple?
No. “Kupi” means “buy” in Russian, so “iPhone kupi” is just the lyric telling you to buy an iPhone.
Why is it set in a hotel?
Viral clips use that setting, so it is our default place.
Who plays the dancer in my video?
It is whoever appears in your photo, so you or a friend who is an adult and agreed.
