Apple’s big reveal of the iPhone 16 series on September 9 had fans less impressed than anticipated, leading to a wave of humorous memes.
The new iPhone 16, starting at $799, comes in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes, boasting the A18 chip and a customizable action button.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max feature the upgraded A18 Pro chip for a bit more speed.
Instead of applause, the internet quickly turned to humor.
Memes flooded social media, poking fun at what many saw as minimal updates. One meme showed an elderly man with a new shirt that looked just like the old one, while another compared the iPhone’s “innovation” to Japan’s redesigned flag.
Classic jabs included comparisons to Spider-Man pointing at himself and quips about future iPhones being identical to this one, just with a new name.
Fans reminisced about the good old days when Apple packed phones with all the essentials.
