Well, another big Apple event was held today, and that usually means people across social media freaking out over a very small change to a popular product.
But this time the changes are bigger and more controversial than usual.
It seems Apple has decided to 86 the headphone jack on the iPhone 7, which means users will either have to plug in old school headphones using a lightning jack adapter or shell out for wireless headphones.
Not surprisingly, the company also introduced its new AirPod wireless ear buds today, which look like they should come with a built-in hole in your pocket to ensure that you lose them on day one.
Naturally, the the reactions from Twitter have been hilariously outraged.
They’re even funnier when you pause to consider how many of these tweets were sent using Apple products:
