Nothing brings people together like the announcement of a new iPhone. It’s like a techie’s Christmas (and ironically, will also probably end up on any good techie’s Christmas list). Whether you’re super into tech news or just into keeping up with the #times, you surely watched yesterday’s Apple Event to see if the new iPhone would be able to wirelessly charge or float (check one of two). But the best place to watch news come in about the world’s most expensive rectangle wasn’t by watching the Apple Event live. No, friends – it was watching the #AppleEvent reactions through Twitter.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions we saw to the Apple Event, iPhone 8, and, spoiler alert if you’re super behind, the iPhone X.

Usually Apple waits a year or 2 before their phones become obsolete. The iPhone 8 lasted about 10 minutes #AppleEvent

So they’re calling the iPhone X the “ten” when you say it out loud, and then there’s an iPhone 8, but no 9? #AppleEvent pic.twitter.com/rULAHuW4lo
