RIP Tempered Glass: The New Social Media Sensation Linked to Upcoming Honor X9B
January 27, 2024: In an unexpected turn of events, social media users woke up to find #RIPTemperedGlass trending across platform X. This sudden surge of interest in the phrase ‘RIP Tempered Glass’, driven by a flurry of humorous memes about mobile screens and tempered glass, left many wondering about the origin and meaning of this viral hashtag.
The trend seems to have been sparked by a post from HTech CEO Madhav Sheth, who intriguingly used the hashtag in a recent tweet. Madhav’s post playfully compared buying tempered glass for a phone to hiring a bodyguard for the Incredible Hulk or getting a ceramic coating for a battle tank. This light-hearted analogy hinted at an end to the need for tempered glass, leaving social media abuzz with speculation and humor.
Now buying a Tempered Glass for your phone is like hiring a Bodyguard for the Incredible Hulk, or like getting a ceramic coating for a battle tank.
