Buzzing excitement
Yesterday was the much-anticipated Apple announcement event. Apple unveiled the iPhone and iPhone 7 Plus which boast a touch sensitive home button button, vastly improved cameras and storage, water resistance, and, as we suspected, no headphone jack.
Partnerships and more
Apple also announced a deal with Nintendo, iOS 10, improved bluetooth protocols, iWork, and a new smartwatch. But before Sia could even take off her gigantic Minnie Mouse bow, the internet had jumped all over the most controversial and “courageous” innovation… the AirPods.
The AirPods include everything you hated about original Apple ear buds but without the cord.
The internet came together in a beautiful unified rainbow of snark. Here’s the best of the best reactions:

The good news: You'll never have to untangle your ear buds.
The bad news: You'll never find your ear buds.— braden graeber (@hipstermermaid) September 7, 2016
