Today Apple unveiled their latest products at the Apple Live event live streamed all over the world from Cupertino, California. Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed the long awaited iPhone 6 and the larger iPhone 6 Plus as well as the company’s latest foray into wearable tech, the Apple Watch. Naturally, social media went a little crazy in response to all the Apple news. With a level of snark usually reserved for Hollywood award shows, the denizens of Twitter turned their best jokes on Apple and its new slate of toys. Of course, NMR was there to capture the best of the best. Without further ado, here are the 10 best tweets from Apple Live!
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres kicked things off by pointing out that maybe we’ve seen this before?
So excited for the Apple Watch. For centuries, we’ve checked the time by looking at our phones. Having it on your wrist? Genius. #AppleLive

Actress Diana Agron made this haunting obvservation
Every time a new iPhone comes out I am forced to remember a time when I didn’t have one in my hands. And it feels strange. — Dianna Agron (@DiannaAgron) September 9, 2014

Joel McHale wished for some features that we’re not quite ready for
Trying out the Replicator on the new iPhone 6. I had to say “Tea, Earl Grey, hot” twice before it worked. User error most likely. #AppleLive — Joel McHale (@joelmchale) September 9, 2014
YouTuber iJustine made this comment that could easily be a Lana Del Rey lyric
