Yup all eyes were on California yesterday for another highly anticipated Apple product announcement.
Apple’s latest iPhones will come in a bevy of colors and two distinct designs, one made of plastic and the other that aims to be “the gold standard of smartphones” and reads your fingerprint.
But guess what? Not everyone was impressed.
Nokia for instance found the whole thing a little repetitive.
The mobile phone giant also seem to know their gangsters better than Apple.
Denny's Diner got in on the action too. Apparently their main product has always had a golden effect.

"I love freely giving away my fingerprints" - said nobody ever!
So ya the fingerprint read function on the new iPhone might not be so much of a hit considering people have watched too many movies where identities are stolen.
And Motorola were quick to point their finger at this potential undesirable new feature - wait no they didn't. They actually didn't point anything as their Moto X 'Lazy Phone' responds to voice control.
Remember that one time you were stoked to give your fingerprints? Us either. #LazyPhone http://t.co/ckuu7otnJM

Some people were just vulgar about it though.
The announcement brought others back to their childhood.

The medley of colours now offered with the new products just didn't impress some people at all.
Most of whom already had different coloured iPhones stemming from a multitude of expensive phone covers :/
So as our mothers used to say:
"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, or tweet it".
We're sure everyone will still want the new iPhone 5c and 5s :)
