Apple’s biggest iPhone launch yet may already be behind us, but the good folk of the internet have made sure it’ll continue to keep us entertained for a good while yet.
We’ve guffawed our way through the information superhighway’s silliest responses to the latest Apple Event and rounded them up for you right here.

The Cupertino company’s new facial recognition tech drew some golden reactions, and also got everyone making exactly the same Game of Thrones joke at exactly the same time.

Animoji will let you project your own face onto 3D emoji, and behind the laughter we all know everyone’s desperate to try them out. Of course, the fact Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror basically predicted them with Waldo back in 2013 did not go unnoticed.
