So you had an email advise you about iPhone 7 launch... That would be user intent. I'm not clear on where the irony is then. Maybe the ironic bit is that the OS did what you asked it to, notify you of email received, and now you are trying to make that into a fail somehow???
Don't go that deep into this, it was posted as a joke. The phone displayed my latest email, I didn't forward the email, it was a news letter from apple.. but seeing such a thing is a big deal. Take it what ever way you want, I just wanted to share it.
