For 10 years, Apple has been blowing people’s minds with the iPhone. The release of the first iPhone literally changed everything. It ushered in the smartphone era and brought companies like Microsoft and Blackberry to their knees playing catch-up. Then came the App store, then came Siri, and the list goes on and on.
It seemed only natural that on the 10th anniversary of the phone, with rumors of a special-edition “iPhone X,” the company would do something even more mind blowing. Something to follow in the footsteps of how positively earth-shattering that first phone was.
Instead, they released a phone that lets you be the poop emoji.
No, I am not kidding.
Needless to say, people were disappointed. And excited! I don’t know… these are complicated times.
apple doesn't pay its janitors a living wage but it'll let you spend $999 on a phone that will let you make a poop emoji talk with your face
