By the way, another reason why the company postponed the presentation is that the EU top court has just ruled that Apple must pay 13B euros in back taxes. Another negative distraction for the audience, but the deed is done. The new models of smartphones, watches and headphones have already been unveiled - and all that remains for people is to exchange memes while standing in lines at Apple stores.

But seriously, here's an interesting observation - the iPhone 16 has vertically positioned cameras just like the iPhone X, which came out many years ago. And while we're laughing that this was done to make the camera block resemble a funny little rodent's face, the company announced that the smartphone has learned to take photos in horizontal stereo pair mode.

And this, in turn, means more mass and high-quality user-generated VR content. And if last year, when Apple Vision Pro was introduced, bloggers and ordinary users complained about the lack of content for the headset - here's a tool for this content!

Further proof of this is that the iPhone 16 can shoot video in 3840×2160 mode and 120 frames per second, while the smartphone itself (the regular version) doesn't support such a screen refresh rate. But such characteristics are just typical of modern VR headsets. So, a year ago, we were given a tool for consuming new content and now bloggers have a tool for creating it.

Yes, the new iPhone, no matter what the sarcastic memesters say, is similar to previous ones. Yes, many of the new 'unique' products that speakers proudly announced from the stage have been present in Android smartphones for several years now. But Apple has long been less about technology and more about an ecosystem and lifestyle. After all, on what device are you reading this selection right now?

Okay, in any case, the memes turned out great, and I personally felt a lot of positive emotions when I reviewed them before publishing. So please feel free to scroll through this list to the very end as well, enjoy the yearly portion of iPhone-related humor, and maybe add your own memes and reactions too. Even if you are as avid of an Android fan as I am. Well, especially if you are an avid Android fan!
