Joan Rivers is apparently a fan of the iPhone 6, despite the fact that she died two weeks before its release. The late comedienne's Facebook page posted a message that Rivers was swapping her 4-year-old iPhone for the latest model, which was released Friday (Sept. 19).
The post - which was first noticed by TMZ - was quickly deleted but not before fans were able to take a screen grab of it.
"This bada** is being replaced by an iPhone 6 (not the fat one). I got this one in 2010, and after 4 years, my only complaint is that apps are now designed for bigger screens, and the battery is getting tired. Never had a case for it, since it was most beautiful on its own. Great achievement in design. Great product. #apple #iPhone #tech," the post read, including a photo of what looks like the iPhone 4.
So was Rivers' ghost letting the world know she's a fan of Apple's latest product? Not quite. TMZ points out that the message was probably a pre-negotiated deal with Apple and was most likely set to automatically appear on her Facebook.
"#iPhone6 so big, Joan Rivers came back from the dead to endorse it. #JoanRivers #JoanDay #iPhone," one fan tweeted.
Rivers died on Sept. 4, one week after being hospitalized for respiratory and cardiac arrest after she stopped breathing during a throat procedure at a New York City clinic. Prior to the iPhone post, Rivers' social media accounts had been updated to promote "Joan Day," an all-day tribute to the comedienne on E!.
The network will air back-to-back episodes of "Fashion Police" followed by a 90-minute special featuring cohosts Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne, George Kotsiopoulos and her daughter Melissa Rivers.
"My mother would have been overwhelmed by the scope and depth of the love that people have expressed for her," Melissa said in a statement (via US Weekly) on Sept. 17. "It's certainly helping to lift our spirits during this time."
