The iPhone legs challenge is the latest weird viral trend in China

Cyberspace in China is a place where bizarre beauty or rather body-shaming challenges enjoy alarming popularity. Young girls in China are now clicking photos of themselves holding iPhone 6s up to their knees to prove to the world that they are thin.

This disturbing has raked up to 72,000 photos on the popular Chinese social media website, Weibo, in a short span of time. Thankfully critics are standing up to this trend by posting photos of themselves holding iPads and iPhone 6 pluses up to their knees in a bid to call out this ridiculous craze on social media.
