Yesterday, a lil', itty-bitty tech company (that has to do with fruit or something??? The details are fuzzy. Clarifying for a friend…) announced a couple of neat features on their shiny new toys – and if you missed if, them oh my god you're in for a treat.

After Tim Cook pulled up to the #AppleEvent with James Corden and Pharrell for some reason (not complaining, he looks like he's a lovely man), the two hour show-and-tell began.
Apple touched on a ton of new features, covering everything from new designs & innovations for the Apple Watch Series 2, to water-resistant capabilities, to the lack of headphone jack on the new iPhone, which will force users to use wireless headphones...
Article continues below… which seems to have the internet really, really mad for whatever reason.
Here's how social media is reacting – or over-reacting, depending on where you stand – to the new announcements from yesterday's #AppleEvent!
