This week Apple unveiled three new iPhones and two new watches, which means its time for the tech conspiracy theorists to go off about their current phones glitching. Just like clockwork, each new product release comes with complaints and, of course, lots and lots of memes.
The new models are the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max, the iPhone XR, the Apple Watch Series 4 and the Apple Watch Nike+. Their features include updates such as 5.8" to 6.5" 5 super retina display, faster Face ID, new camera features and an A12 bionic chip that can process 5 trillion operations per second. Sounds pretty dope huh? Well, what potential customers aren't too excited about is the $999 to $1,099 starting price tag for the phones and $399 to $499 for the watches. Additionally, let's be honest we are still mourning the loss of the normal headphone jack, I mean come on Apple, who asked for that?! The good news is you can always count on the internet to voice their frustration in collective comedic harmony.
Scroll down below for some of the best meme reactions to Apple's new products, and don't forget to upvote your favs!

Apple's accessories can last only a year. my chargers and headphones are shedding it's skin as soon as it hits a year. Then i thought, APPLE's way of making money every year.
And then you stopped buying Apple products, right?
Load More Replies...Yeah, this is so bloody annoying. And it doesn't even take very long for the cables to get into that shape. No matter how carefully you try to use it!
I am not sure why some people never had an issue with their cables, but for many others, their cables do break. But, the good news is: wireless chargers exist, and with those, a charger can finally last. I haven’t checked their prices, though
Load More Replies...If you want to prevent that sorta stuff, just wrap some duct tape near the cable
And all you have to de to prevent that from happening is wrapping a pen spring around the cable. ( https://gearhub.org/6-ways-prevent-iphone-cables-breaking/ )
....but why should we have to come up with hacks when this has been a known issue since the inception of the iPhone?
Load More Replies...How are people destroying their chargers? Honestly? I've had the same cord for years and it never broke on me.. haha You guys need to treat your property a little bit better.
Am i the only one who cares about this? Three months and the skin is already shedding of my charger.
And they cost us 30 dollars for their mistake of not making good cords!
I can afford name brand apple juice as often as Apple has a new product launch....
Yeah in RL 32 people can’t behave themselves, why would I try to FaceTime 32 people... 🤦🏻♀️
Load More Replies...I don't even take phone calls most of the time. Why would I want to face time even two people at once?
Al right, I can see the necessity of speaking with 20-30 people at once, but I really don't see a reason to use the phone at that time. Such a teleconference usually involves stationary computers, where it makes a lot of sense, much like any teleconference software.
A chaos waiting to ensue... "Can you repeat that once again Jack" "Sandra I can't see your face" "wait wait what happen guys!!!"
I’m retired. Who wants to go to another meeting? And, um, just who sets up this large of a “phone call?”
They said we would have to wait for that 32 people thing. I have IOS 12 and it ain't lettin me
I think this one is very useful. Yep, even if you're drunk. Also, could be a life saver for victims of physical assault.
Be careful in USA. If you trip on a banana skin, brush your knee, and an ambulance comes, will you be ready to pay for the huge insane bill??
Load More Replies...actually, this might be interesting for senior citizens. In a certain age- falling is a major danger. Various conditions developing with old age can make you trip and fall. Your bones easily break, you are more likely to have a stroke or cardiac arrest.... then you are too weak to get back up ... many old people are terrified of falling and not being found for days while not being able to help themselves.
And what if you are tired after work and fall asleep with the watch on? Or just leave the watch on a table or shelf- do you have to leave it in a specific position?
It said if you fall. Like those life alert thing on tv. It can tell if you fall and after if you don't move again in 1 min it will call 911
Load More Replies...911 will exclude people who wear those silly watch
Load More Replies...Apple: We've also upgraded our allready awesome cable, it now costs 40$! But wait there is more!... the plug has also changed. Thank you thank you! *Walks off stage acompanied by a standing ovation*
I wonder if Apple Paltrow/Martin will eventually change her name. Imagine going though your life being named like a high mainetnaince, prone to breakdowns, impossible to work-out device. Least if your name is Nokia you will be assumed to be reliable, straightforward, enduring and always able to do the basics when needed
Load More Replies...I think it's incredibly offensive how expensive their products are. I refuse to buy any Apple products. Overpriced trash that constantly breaks down all the time!
Same with the macbook air. "Normal 2015 laptop with better specs. 400 dollars" Apple branded 2015 laptop with worse specs. 1000 dollars
wow come in the picture on the right its only the guy on the right who is the same in the other picture?
I never knew why a company wanted a half eaten apple as logo. It's signalling: Looks good from the outside but when you try to eat it turns out to be rotten to the core,
My recommendation: „Sent from my Phillips UltimateCare Smart Toothbrush“
Yes, that makes it easier to mark your mails as spam and have them deleted immediatly.
Alternatively, just buy a refurbished one from past releases... It'll cost you much less than a new one... and you still get the bragging rights like the dude the bought it upon release.
That's actually very cool - and something like this would be VERY helpful for older people who live alone.
Apple is actually using the watches in conjunction with medical teams to study and help detect heart attacks, especially in women.
Load More Replies...an apple a day keeps doctor away..becouse u don't have any money left for doctors
Then they send your reading to their commercial partners which happen to be insurance companies who will use it against you for health insurance claims, win win for everyone! Except you.
I'm one of those older people with parents in their late 80 who live in their house and I'm thinking about buying both of them one for Christmas. I live alone and I'm thinking of trading in my watch 2 for one as well!
No, just more expensive to buy and more difficult for the children in China to build.
they don't use child labour anymore, they've grown into adults already.
Load More Replies...Exactly my point and they just keep getting richer and richer off of dumb people buying their c**p.
It literally sound like "excess" and "excess max". I think they're just mocking their customers now.
how many iphones do you get for a harvested heart? asking for a friend.
Is there another organ I can use as payment? I used a kidney as down payment on my house...
Yep, and than Apple pushes a software update and suddenly your Iphone 4 is useless.
I have an Iphone4 and so does my daughter. We are perfectly fine with them. We can call, text, take pictures and go on the web... Don't need them for anything else.
That's why I got an SE classic when my 5 took a c**p. I can't believe how ridiculously pricey these phones are!!!
I'm always 2 generations behind because I have zero interest in paying $600 for a phone with only marginally better features than the one I currently have. I'll gladly pay bottom dollar for a second hand Iphone.
Costs more - does so much more than you will ever need, use, or be able to work out
Load More Replies...Apple is such a greedy company. They made the phones without headphone jacks so you would buy their AirPods. They made the previous phones malfunction so that people would buy the new ones. I hate it.
My sod of a workmate just put this GIF on the computer screen and shouted at me "What did you do the computer?" I was the last to use it. I came out saw it and nearly had a heart attack. He of course thought it was hilarious.
This is why Samsung is superior. They include more and actually work, they have a battery, and they have storage
It’s all about how much of the GB storage have you used (pics, videos, apps all take up space, making the phone slower and more prone to stop working properly once the new phones arrive)? For example, I made sure that my phone uses around half of the total available storage. As a result, my phone continues to work just fine (thankfully) despite it being a relatively ‘old’ iPhone now. And by old iPhone, I don’t mean that it’s an iPhone 7; it’s not.
I find it funny that you got 2 down votes for saying your old phone have no problem. My 4 years old 5s still alive and kicking though.
Load More Replies...I wondered what that orb was when I saw the commercials. Now it makes sense... It even looks like its true to scale.
Never mind, I think I got it, it's the second option
Load More Replies...I wish everyone would just boycott Apple for a year. I would bet they would lower their ridiculously high prices and make better products!
Probably the same or more. Can't blame Apple for it. Idiots still line up for days when a new one is released
Load More Replies...They charge high price for not even up-to-date specs. The moto G4 has a 16 megapixel camera from 2 yrs ago while that new iphone rockin a 12 megapixel camera.
Back then, the carriers subsidized the price of the phone. Supposedly, everyone was supposed to love paying full price for phones because it would lower prices for service (since they didn’t have to make back the phone subsidy), but I don’t think prices went down.
Back in my day, kiddos, iPhones were CHEAP. LIKE $200. YALL OUT HERE SPENDING $1K ON A PHONE.
I get the ones with the braided cover from Amazon, something like $15 for 4 diff cables of varying lengths
Smart! But it really should come with better cables at that price.
Load More Replies...Put Sugru around a new one to prevent it from messing up. If you cannot afford Sugru then The King Of Random made a video on how to make "Proto Putty," which is the same thing but much cheaper and with things you have at home.
For me, I found it helpful to make sure that the cable isn’t positioned in a way that would make the cable be bent on the same spot of the cord every time I use it, and since I particularly made sure not to even have any area of the first half foot of the cable on my most recent one get bent while I charge my apple product, I haven’t had any issue at all with it.
I bought one of these cables for €2.00 in a discount store 3 years ago. It's as good as new and lasted way longer than my Apple one.
But, you can still see the lil' beard on the right one's face!
Load More Replies...Maybe these aren't that popular in the West, where mobile providers are more stable, but honestly this is old, common technology available on mid-budget phones throughout Asia. This is partly because the coverage is sparse, so it's often handy to be able to have option of a provider. Also, the plans are more exclusive in that it is free to call/text on the same provider, but costs money to call a phone from a different provider.
where are you from? dual sims are actually for business travelers who regularly travel between (two or more) countries. not for coverage purposes.
Load More Replies...At least Mattel is now introducing diverse bodies and skin tones, Apple just keep adding X's to the names 😅
Load More Replies...I WAS WAITING FOR THIS POST! Just like the so called "launch" because they came in new colors.
Tim Cook: "Why you want us to be like Steve Jobs when the iphone was at 200 dollars!"
And you know Miss Piggy is demanding that new phone NOW. "Who wants it? Moi!"
He looks like he's wearing a bacon wrap. Did he sell Miss Piggy per pound??
I want to upvote this because this photo has been meemed so much and this is the best one
People who travel a lot use memory on their phones to download movies. It's nothing to hook up your phone to the TV monitor. There is NOTHING to watch on television anyway.
to keep your nudes on internal storage as opposed to icloud ofc dumbass, save the world from seeing your d**k!
Well, you pay more for iPhone. And for most people, whatever s**t that a famous company rolls out is ambrosia.
I know! My phone was 200 dollars, from Moto, and it takes better photos than my dad's iphone 6. And it isn't slowing down mysteriously either.
Load More Replies...My friends are like: "Why do you want an andriod?" Im like: "Because they can do more than iphone." The Galaxy S II is still supported on 8.0 oreo
I think android also has a plethora of free user friendly, 3d, personalized wallpapers ready to be installed. I think pretty much (not almost all) of everything that iPhone has are already available for Android users.
Harsh. Remember all these companies hire *teams* of psychologists to make us buy stuff we don't need.
Load More Replies...All Android phones I have looked at for the last three years that sport dual-SIM have made the second SIM slot "dual purpose" so it can be used for either second SIM card or an SD card. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if that is Apple's next big "innovation".
I don't think that will be possible, I believe they will push you to use the icloud instead.
That's half a terabyte!!! That's the capacity of a laptop! Why would you even need all that storage space!?!
I know people who their phone IS their computer. They don't use anything else.
Load More Replies...Liver, kidney, heart... not brain though. If you still have that, you won't buy Apple :D
People used to pay these prices for laptops. Apple has crammed as much memory as on a higher-end server. I have no idea what processor they use to drive it but I'd bet a pretty robust, fast one. Basically, this is your personal computer in your pocket. The only downside to that is, a s****y interface for input. No mouse. No real keyboard. But some people don't mind. You have the power of a desktop computer (a high end one!) in your pocket...AND it makes phone calls too! Personally, I hate apple. But I hate them for their business practices (like making their stuff probably 20-30% more expensive than it really needs to be...ie you're paying for the apple logo).
...and there are stupid people out there who are still willing to pay the money and/or donate a kidney to get this "innovative" pile of poopoo
iPhone XS (5.8-inch) 64GBUS$999 / £999 / Eur 1122 256GBUS$1149 / £1149 / Eur 1290 512GBUS$1349 / £1349 / Eur 1515 iPhone XS Max (6.5-inch) 64GBUS$1099 / £1099 / Eur 1234 256GBUS$1249 / £1249 / Eur 1403 512GBUS$1449 / £1449 / Eur 1627 Who the hell pays 1200 bucks for a phone, that is not even up to par in functionality with a 400 buck android?
Someone tried too hard to tell a joke here. It's $1099 for 64 GB, $1249 for 256 GB and $1449 for 256 GB. All of a sudden a $100 increase in price what translates to 10%, 8,7% and 7,4% respectively. Still a pretty penny, but as the price increases go, it is manageable.
If you can afford an iPhone every year, you can have real nude people sent to you every morning.
"...and I would have gotten away with it too if not for you darn kids!"
The iPhone will die in next year's series of escape the night. (You wont understand unless you watch his vids)
It's when someone sends a message and the phone tells you that the receiver read the message but then they dont respond
Load More Replies...You think it's expensive now? Let's take a week off work to stand in line to get it...
What I am getting out of so many of these memes is that people seem to have little idea what a kidney is worth on the black market.
Do you have a black market contact... asking for a friend...
Load More Replies...I see a sudden increase in old urban legends. Namely the one about waking up in a tub full of ice and intense pain.
Thanks for translation. I still don't get what that means.
Load More Replies...Apple: we introduced dual sim. Samsung: we did that with the Galaxy S III
I'll stick to my old Samsung with Android on it. NEver was and never will be a fan of Apple stables.
I'm a budget motorola man, does everything I need it to do, I can buy 11 for the price of the iphone.... INCLUDING silicon skins and glass screen protectors...
Load More Replies...I get a kick out of Apple hate. Why people choose a corporation as their hill to die on is beyond me. Ford/Chevy Samsung/Apple Canon/Nikon, who gives a f**k? They all do basically the same thing and are all just fine. What a strange thing to get all worked up about. How about being happy that there's competition and choice out there?
I think it's because they take old stuff and "re-invent" them, yet remain popular only by brand power. Who knows maybe Apple haters hate other things too but this article is just focused on this topic. You seem to care enough to comment on it.
Load More Replies...I bought a Fitbit and it turns out that if you eat Oreo cookies fast enough, it thinks your jogging.
I don't have a smart phone nor will I ever get one, unless they totally do away with my old school Motorola flip phone, thats right, it still works like a champ and does every thing I need it to do, I can talk and text............the end.. 110% totally satisfied.. now to see the looks on some peoples face when they see a person talking on a "flip-phone" lol.. priceless
I had one of those - it was great - did everything it was supposed to. Didnt have a million functions you couldnt understand and a 200 page instruction encyclopedia
Load More Replies...I really don't understand why people consider iPhone XS Max prohibitively expensive. It's the top of the line product, and it isn't that expensive in comparison with similar products from other manufacturers. Sony XZ2 Premium costs $800, Samsung Galaxy Note9 costs $1000, Huawei P20 Pro costs $1100. Whether you actually want or need to buy a newest phone only because it was released or whether new iPhone is actually worth the price is inconsequential - I'm speaking only about the 'new iPhone requires you to sell a kidney' jokes. Seriously, do you dole out 50-60 grand on the newest car when you can't afford it? Not really, you most likely but a second-hand car or an older model without second thought. Why should it be different with phones?
Gosh, you could buy a car for these prices, granted a second hand car. At least it’ll take you to the hospital if you fall down, it’ll take you to the doctor if you have low blood pressure. But if you buy one, you’ll need a trip to the doctor anyway, because of the price, you’ll get heart failure .#AppleExpensive
Everyone's talking about smartphones while I'm still using one with physical buttons and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. I think I should invest a little money in getting a phone that doesn't make the f*****g WHEEL look like a modern invention.
Who would spend that much on a phone?? The older and more funcional the better. Nokias were great, indestructable, always regret mine being stolen. My last 2 phones couldnt even survive a fall from a pocket or a knock without the touch screen being completely ruined
Were? You're aware that they're back in the game, right?
