iPhone 17 Launch: Every year, Apple fans wait for September and every year the internet gets its share of jokes too. This time was no different. As soon as Apple hosted its grand ‘Awe-Dropping’ launch on September 10, social media turned into a meme fest. The spotlight was, of course, on the brand-new iPhone 17 series. Apple unveiled the powerful iPhone 17 Pro models, introduced the super-slim iPhone Air, the thinnest iPhone ever, along with updated AirPods Pro 3 and a fresh Apple Watch lineup.
While tech lovers were busy checking specs and performance upgrades, meme creators had a field day reacting to the jaw-dropping prices and the endless upgrade debates.
Within minutes of the event, X was flooded with hilarious posts about how tough it is to keep up with Apple’s yearly launches. From jokes about selling kidneys to buy the new iPhone, to relatable struggles of people still holding onto their old models, the memes stole just as much attention as the actual launch itself.
