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.
Ohhh, how I hate that! And how I hate how fitting (and more durable) no-name-powercords then are rejected by my capricious, conceited i-phone. Me: ellloh...? You rather die than eating from another plate??? Come on!
I have one from Amazon basics. It works like a charm with my iphone 7
Load More Replies...I still have my Samsung S6 and I'll keep it until it's so old it goes back up in value.
How do you do that to a cable?? I have had my iPhone 7 for two years and the charger is still in good condition
If someone has money to buy an iPhone they probably have enough spare money to buy a more durable charging cable...
That's what I did. I found those bendable charging cables at Best Buy. No more frayed cable cords.
Load More Replies...Apple Needs to create a Phone that doesn’t need to be charged because my chargers are literally breaking and it’s stupid so I really need a phone that doesn’t need to be charged that is probably gonna be the best iPhone in the world and plus everyone’s gonna want to buy it so what does that mean more money Just my Pinyan.
YAAAAASSSSS!!!!! I just ordered 3 new cables from amazon to replace them after a minor electric shock.
OMG iPho - i can already see that new pho restaurant in berlin mitte with this name ... behold ...

I love it, a person with a Nobel Peace Prize is taking a dig at Apple...
Shut up, she did some amazing work to help humanity.

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

Load More Replies...Y'all need to get over yourselves and just get a flip phone like me. The ultimate cool. Nowadays they have internet and I can make my battery last 4 days if I need to. :)
My last iPhone had to be charged all night and then mid-day even if I hardly use it. My new Galaxy needs charging every other day. And it charges a LOT faster.
Apple: we have increased the battery life by 1%! Everybody: OMG THANKS YOUS SO MUCH WE NEED THIS
Well, twice and the second time doesn't seem worth it quite frankly. Unless you have a lot of family you aren't fond of...
Load More Replies...Damn! I'm gonna lose both of my kidneys now??! #iPhoneX and now #iPhone11.. smh!
I thought the top comment would be someone complaining about Trypophobia even though someone already mentioned it in one post above. Happy to see that I'm wrong
Load More Replies...Boba tea, or bubble milk tea - delicacy from my home country, Taiwan!
Load More Replies...I will have nightmares if there's ever a phone like this. Makes my skin crawl!!
I love this phrase. I first heard it from a non-english speaker in Thailand. He used it to describe the concept of similar. I thought it was a brilliant phrase and still use it myself sometimes.
Okay this is not good for those with tryptophobia. F**k I googled typtophobia to make sure I spelled it right and oh my f*****g god 🤮
I didn't know what that was so I Googled it, now I have a new fear, thanks a lot XD
Load More Replies...This one is supposed to be cheaper though. Apple hasn’t been affordable since they made computers.

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.
Also, warranty varies, we have 2 years in the EU.
Load More Replies...Same with Corel software! What about this agreement the EU signed with Canada and the USA about good having no customs fee???
Even if the transport them from the US it's still too big price difference
Is the new Iphone 11 sleek enough to allow enough phones up your r****m to cover the cost of a transatlantic flight and make a profit? I should have been at that conference
Load More Replies...It’s just random for profits. Don’t try and make sense of this kind of capitalism.
yeah we all knew he was on crack anyway. i mean he literally murdered children
Load More Replies...iphone prepper edition; pop out the little nourishment pills when you're hungry. No need to overdo it. You'll live two days longer than people who don't prep. THEN you'll die.
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.
I always thought he was a failure. He made Mac compete for decades with Microsoft and failed miserably. He stumbled upon the idea of putting music on a small hardrive with audio capability to replace discman and was lucky. If it wasn't for that, he would be forgotten by now. He was a horrible father and a complete d**k to his friends and employees.
Load More Replies...my mom put this in the comments of my facebook post when she found out i had a massive razor burn on my elbow. fyi it f*****g hurt
Was it ever really? It’s more of a laziness factor for me. Like if I switch then I have to setup everything again and it’s just a pain in the a*s. Getting a new iPhone is like changing underwear at this point. Old one off, new one on.
Load More Replies...Why, I mean seriously. Other makers have pretty much caught up for less.
hahaha my camera roll is just pics of dogs, my nephew, and memes :)
*throws* CLACK scrEECH squeak wHOmp Well dang didn’t even make it halfway!
Of course you can. With the newly designed iPhone 11 there is a multi-modal self-destruct feature. In the event that you have to get yourself out of hairy situations ie: need to make a stealthy ninja escape (smoke bomb feature) or if you need to bowl a strike or else you've let down your entire bowling league team yet your ball is heading for the gutter... (self destruct feature). Just slide your iPhone down to the pins as your bowl approaches and it will create a small EMP knocking out all the power for 10 seconds while your iPhone grows tiny arms and legs and walks over to the pins pushing them down. When the electricity comes back on People will see that you have made the winning strike! Use your Apple Watch's Retrieve feature and your phone will meet you at the car.
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.
Load More Replies...Apple are just taking the p**s. They are taking your money while laughing at you.
I don’t think they are laughing at people. I think they aren’t listening. They’d have to listen to laugh. I think people without iPhones just want that to be true because the cost of the phone offends you.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...So you go and buy a new phone and then 9 months later a newer and better version of your phone comes out. this happens over and over and I dont understand how or why people try and keep up. I got my Galaxy note 5 back in 2015 and just used my insurance for the first time and got an upgrade to the note 8 for $75. I was expecting the same phone and would of been fine with it. Spending thousands of dollars on these phones is wasteful.
That's why you don't buy every phone that comes out. You buy one every 2 or 3 years. How much was your note5 back in 2015? Not cheap either, right?
Load More Replies...All these camera upgrades and still no one is going to watch that 20 minute concert video you recorded
and it's alsoi sad watching a live event through a screen
Load More Replies...that is not true. a new iphone costs money someone not rich can save. unfortunately many do this
Load More Replies...Yes, yes, yes. But plenty of sheep will continue to buy that overpriced c**p, keeping the cycle going.
