Apple release ceremonies used to be genuinely newsworthy events, showcasing impressive and innovative new technology that confirmed, in the eyes of many, that the company was far ahead of its rivals and justified the hefty price tags of its products.
These days? Not so much. To the average person, Apple's pricing seems unrealistic compared to its competitors, which have caught up and in some cases overtaken Apple in product innovation. The pomp and ceremony accompanying these release events has perhaps lost its sheen to all but the most loyal fans, and instead of being met with awe, they are instead the target of derisive memes.
With the announcement of the iPhone 11 just recently, the memes have been flowing thick and fast. The main target of most fun has been the unusual design of the phone's camera - featuring three large lenses - which has been compared to everything from a stovetop to a coconut. Can't imagine what I mean? Scroll down to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

This! Stop encouring the bastards by buying their new c**p. It's no better than a scam.

Meh - done this. In fact removed it from my iPhone-shite phone. Only bought one - not getting conned twice.

This year's iPhone is basically a refresh of the previous version with triple cameras.

Yep. If you want to blow that much money, buy something cheaper and give the rest to a soup kitchen or homeless shelter.

When will people get this. Products in the USA never include tax/VAT on their display prices, where as in Europe the price always includes VAT. In the USA the sales tax is only added when making the payment. Mos states have sales taxes between 3% - 11% (5 states don't even have a sales tax, so there you pay what you see). The UK has a 20% VAT rate. So the adjusted price would be $839 (680 GBP). That's still 49 GBP more expensive in the UK, this however is often attributed to custom fees, transport costs and overall market price adjustments, which then makes up the final price of 729 GBP. You can argue if the 49 GBP extra is justified or not, however in the end it's really not that big of a difference and it all depends on your countries/states taxes and not Apple.

I doubt it. Apple sold overpriced c**p well before he died. I just don't understand people who admire him for being some sort of a tech god/ guru. I've always admired him for being a savvy businessman- he created a brand. People pay for the logo and name, not for the good build quality or technical features.

Honest advice from an IT Guy with a telecommunication background, with smartphones you get the best value for money around 150 euros (165 USD). Maybe 100 more if you want a good camera but more than that you are only wasting money.

I have a good friend in the same industry who says exactly the same thing. People never really believe it though, much rather fall for all the hype.

Apple are just taking the p**s. They are taking your money while laughing at you.

I saved loads of money (and both my kidneys, haha) over the years by not buying any iPhones. They may look cool when new but in the end it's just an overpriced piece of plastic that stops working properly after a year or two. [And yes, I cannot afford it.]

They don't even look cool anymore. My 180 Euros Huawei phone makes my brother's iPhone look really old and clunky.
