Comedian Joan Rivers promotes iPhone 6 on Facebook two weeks after her death

Is the late comedian Joan Rivers using an iPhone six feet under?

Not quite.

According to her Facebook post, which has since been deleted, she announced her plan to buy the new phone.

TMZ reported that this post could have been a result of a pre-negotiated deal with Apple.

The comedy icon died two weeks ago - after complications from a simple throat surgery that left her in a coma.

Needless to say, online netizens were amused by... the power of Apple.

Wow, Apple's iPhone 6 delivery service really is something https://t.co/7TFrafDgVb

Woah, @Joan_Rivers is touting the iPhone 6 on her Facebook page. Guess once a deal is in place nothing and I mean nothing can stop it.
