Let’s all make make fun of the iPhone X before we end up reluctantly buying it
Apple’s announcement yesterday of the iPhone X heralded the start of yet another cycle in the decades-long relationship between consumers and the massive tech company. The pattern should be familiar to anyone: First, Apple reveals the new product with all its very dumb and unnecessary features. Then, everyone takes turns making fun of the new product for its dumb and unnecessary features. And, finally, everyone buys the new product, complete with dumb and unnecessary features. But, since we’re still in that blissful period when everyone can comfortably talk shit about this $1,000 pocket computer, as in the above jacksfilms parody video, let’s see what the internet is saying about it.
Some are quick to point out that the good people at Apple seem to take sick pleasure in denying consumers what they’ve been asking for in favor of ushering in a dystopian nightmare where phones steal our faces and huddled masses flock to Apple Stores for sanctuary.
