The phone is actually another Chinese population control device.

After the birth of his first child, Ho Chen takes a digital picture with his new smartphone. The smartphone senses a baby picture has been taken, and upon its return to Chen's pocket, it radiates his testicles to ensure he will not procreate ever again.
