The internet hath spoken: How social media is reacting to the #AppleEvent
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...
… 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!
