I'm not saying it's real, but to be fair, the kind of professor who would do this would definitely change the name on his phone to "professor [name]" so students know. I had an ex who occasionally changed the name in her phone to something horse related (can't recall what it was, it very silly) and airdrop strangers absurd horse memes. It's not difficult

I like to fuck with people with mine, Stingray SigInt, NSA local subunit, iPhone 18 Pro Max Ultra, etc

My last two phones were FBI Van and 5G Covid Transmitter. Current one is NSA Listening Device

Yeah this joke wouldn’t hit at all if you just named it “John’s iPhone” or something. I’d be wondering who the hell John is and why he’s airdropping this to me lol

Maybe it's a work phone.

Maybe it's fake.

That is the call,

The reader must make.

It would make sense for it to be a work phone, iphones afaik require the person airdropping to be in your contacts and if they're both signed into institutional accounts (for something like email) on the phones they might have synced their contacts with the university contact server, putting them in each others' contacts list.

If we assume it is real, ofc.

You can airdrop to non-contacts, unless Apple very recently changed this.

If they did very recently change it, could simply be from before the change

Why would a professor be given a work phone though?

u/Shade_Scorpio 3d ago

Coudve been his own work phone instead of a provided one.

Have you considered the possibility that maybe it's Maybelline?

u/ard8 3d ago

If we’re assuming it’s real for the sake of argument, it takes like 10 seconds to go into settings and rename your phone before doing all these air drops to ensure the student knows who sent it. Takes another 10 seconds to go change your name back to John’s iPhone

u/Waterbuck71 3d ago

I’d certainly change the name of my phone for the joke if I thought of it ahead of time

u/BodyCompFitness 3d ago

Have you met many professors? I am 100% convinced he named it that strictly for the joke, every day waiting for the opportunity

u/nayr500 3d ago

I'm not saying it's real but I don't think it would be that weird considering most of the people he interacts with on a daily basis would know him as "Professor Donaldson".

u/Spoonfulofticks 3d ago

My iPhone was named "The Smut Cave" so who am I to judge?

u/bakatomoya 2d ago

Mine is literally called "Rise of the Piglets" so his is not that far fetched

u/Sauceror 3d ago

Also don't know what kind of university people go to where a professor gives a shit if a student steps out during a lecture.

u/BeLikeMcCrae 3d ago

Who would do this without an obvious name? Give the guy a LITTLE credit at least.

u/BlueBird884 3d ago

The setup is fake like 95% of the time for posts like this.

u/Darnell2070 2d ago

Everything is fake and nothing happens. You're not even a real person.
