I don’t always write about Apple, but when I do it’s an ode to honor Steve Jobs or it’s because one of my best friends gets famous for her iPhone.

You know the San Diego woman with the yorkie who got her iPhone early? Yep, that’s my friend Adrienne Alpern! Last time I posted about Adrienne on my site, we were contemplating eating weird fried food at the Del Mar Fair media party. What you don’t know is that Adrienne is also an amazing UX Designer. She’s my go to gal when I have questions about visuals, design and anything creative. She was the perfect person to get her iPhone 6S, nearly 5 days before anyone else in the world! I have officially labeled this incident as Adrienne winning the iPhone lottery! No one else in the world outside of Apple employees have this phone! I just recently switched over to iPhone after my Androids kept breaking. Adrienne is the one who constantly told me to get an iPhone. When I was setting up my iPhone, any questions I had were directed to Adrienne! She is a loyal Apple fan and even though Apple has yet to comment on this story, it does feel like they are rewarding her with new found fame!

Being the digitally smart, savvy woman she is, Adrienne took to Twitter and posted about her new phone.

What I like to point out is that I was one of the first to hear about this famous iPhone 6S! That’s right, I got these texts a good 15 minutes before the rest of the world even saw her Tweet.

And then, came the Geekbench benchmarks with data that has never before been revealed to the public.

And here’s a glimpse of the first video posted live with the iPhone 6S.

Adrienne has already been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, Business Insider and dozens of other media outlets. And not just in the US, internationally too! As her friend, I like to claim knowing her before she was famous! In fact, I just got off the phone with Adrienne and loved hearing her give me a rundown on the life of being famous for a day! From her phone ringing off the hook, her inbox being filled with media inquiries and her Twitter blowing up, I’m living vicariously through her. My question to Adrienne was “What are you going to do with your new found fame?”. We may or may not have discussed some strategies on optimizing all of this press!

When the question comes up of how to get something to go viral, being FIRST plays a big factor. As Adrienne proved, being the first to get her iPhone 6S with never before released data has gotten her a lot of attention! Congrats Adrienne, on successfully using your savvy digital skills to introduce the iPhone 6S to the world! Here are a few memorable moments I have shared with Adrienne. The next time we take photos together through, it will be with her famous iPhone 6S!
