iPhone 15 Was Just Unveiled And Here Are 32 Of The Internet’s Best Reactions To Apple Event 2023
Once a year, at the very beginning of autumn, the whole world - okay, a significant part of it, with bated breath, opens the coveted link to the broadcast, and queues of thousands outside Apple stores begin to nervously move. Millions of eyes watch as a respectable gray-haired gentleman comes out onto a beautiful minimalist stage with a huge screen... and says approximately the same words as a year ago. Only with different numbers.
Yes, you were absolutely right, Apple Event 2023 took place yesterday, where Tim Cook presented the iPhone 15 with the long-awaited USB-C connector, a new version of the Apple Watch and some more interesting things. A cult event, in general. And the world reacted to it with numerous memes and posts, so please feel free to watch the selection of the best ones collected by Bored Panda.

I used to work in a home for the developmentally disabled. One of our clients had the mental capacity of a normal 12 year old. She had a toy cellphone that looked real. She was good enough at pretending that her conversation sounded real. Of course, if she handed a staff member the phone, we'd talk into it. If we were busy or distracted, though, we'd have temporarily forgotten it was a toy, and actually expect the person on the other end to talk.

I actually had one of these for a bit when I was younger, I always expected a real person to pick it up.

I don’t understand why so many other kids think that once a new phone comes out that they need it, like, what’s the difference between this one and the last one!?

With only usb 2.0 speed for the non pro editions (early 2000's tech) so you have to buy an external cable for the pro to be as intended. Classic Apple move XD

Not happy with it. In the dark you didn’t have to mess about with the apple one(migraine sufferer). Now it’s a stab in the dark
The tradition of grandiose Apple presentations goes back more than two decades - to the era of Steve Jobs. Though if the co-founder of the company was probably one of the greatest speakers in the modern history of humanity, and each presentation truly became a work of art, then Mr. Cook, with all due respect to him, is inferior to his predecessor as a presenter and showman. However, this in no way diminishes the quality of the products that Apple proudly presents every year.

I wonder, by the way, if anyone has done a kind of quiz - to guess the year and model of the iPhone based on random frames from the presentation! The guys from Cupertino have found their signature, recognizable style of presentation, and adhere to the same tactics year after year. Which, however, invariably brings them overwhelming success. Even though, for example, USB-C appeared on Android smartphones about ten years ago. The ability to present even a familiar technology as a unique feature is another strong point of Apple. No sarcasm, really.

If one of those idiots queuing for a stupid Iphone says anything about saving the environment..........
The so-called "Clarke's Third Law", formulated many years ago by one of the greatest sci-fi writers of all time, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, states: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Well, Apple adds another signature pinch of magic here - remember how in the fairy tale about Cinderella, the carriage turned into a pumpkin at the twelfth stroke of the tower clock? Just like with a wave of a magic wand, previous versions of the iPhone, already completely monstrous in their technical stuffing, instantly turn into junk. And this is also the subject of many memes by netizens from here, there and everywhere.

The Lightning charger is kinda pretty though. Like on the outside, it’s just so nice looking.
And yet, according to recent Forbes statistics, iPhones occupy the first four places among the best-selling smartphones of 2023 - and now, after the Apple Event 2023, they will perhaps occupy more than half of the top ten. And this, you see, means something! At the end of the day, the huge number of memes and similar reactions only confirms the enormous popularity of the company and its products. So now please enjoy these memes, maybe add your own in the comments below - and in the meantime I’ll go line up at the store for the iPhone 15...

They wrote character letters to the judge in hopes of a more lenient sentence for their friend who was convicted of rape. That's how I understood it.

A little off topic, I'm sorry, but wth is this video? I knew they wrote letters to the judge, is this the same thing? Also, wouldn't character witnesses have been part of the trial? What kind of influence do these two think they have? I'm done now, sorry again.
Super MaskedBanana (Super MaskedBanana) 2 years ago
"character references" are used in sentencing; once convicted, it is done in the hopes that judges will consider the offender a 'good person' and give them a more lenient sentence. Which was what they were hoping to gain here. Which is why it was so offensive. A friend of mine rapes someone and the only thing they are getting is a punch in the face (and no longer being my friend)

Conveniently forgetting that Apple pushed USB and USB-C on their computers before anyone else, often to mass criticism, and launched lightning long before USB-C existed.

Like EA: "It's not a lootbox, it's a surprise mechanic!" or the idiot responsible for our economy in the german government: "Those companies aren't insolvent, they just don't sell anything anymore"

I gather I missed something somewhere. What the heck is wrong with the term “loot box,” and I’m sposta be saying “surprise mechanic” now? People will know what I’m talking about? “Surprise mechanic” sounds like the dude who repaired my car and then showed up at my door because he thought we were “vibing.” 🙄 (Surprised customer says “I didn’t feel anything like that. At all. Go away.”)

This is how my phone is looking at me now. Still using an iPhone 7+ (6 years old!) but am planning to upgrade it with the 15 this year. Yes I know there are no big differences between the 13, 14, and now 15 but I want to buy a phone that I can use for at least 5 years without Apple discontinuing iOS updates for it.

By a decent watch. One that you wind up or has a battery you change every 3 years. Apple watches don't do anything other than waste more of your precious life looking at pointless information that Apple markets as so f*****g important you absolutely must have it on your wrist. BS!
N.C. O'Brien 2 years ago
Any smart watch has an average life span of 2 years. So fully agree. Features in smart watches way off and can’t be relied on. Only use mine for the alarm feature so not to wake the neighbours. Expense alarm clock at the end of the day

The USB-C "innovation" is because the EU passed a regulation in Nov '22 that Apple could not sell phones without it after Dec '23.

They've all been the exact same forever. They just get a little bigger or smaller and they've added extra camera. That's it. It's all the same. And I've had an iPhone for 8-10 years after having it hoisted on me for Xmas by my ex-husband who wanted one and low and behold! They were BOGO! So guess who got theirs for Xmas?! ME!!!!!
