Apple unveiled its much-awaited iPhone 15 series at 'Wonderlust' launch event on Tuesday. The Cupertino-based company introduced 4 new iPhones - iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max - along with the new Apple Watch series and AirPods Pro with USB-C functionality.
As the event concluded, it sparked discussions on social media with people talking about the phone's price in India, its features and Apple's decision to adopt USB Type-C technology for its new models. Needless to say, the launch set microblogging site X (formerly Twitter) abuzz with jokes and memes around the announcement with #Appleevent dominating trends. Some users even shared old videos of Apple CEO Tim Cook in a bid to make sarcastic comments at the company's late adoption of the USB-C charging technology.
Check out some of the reactions below:

Meanwhile, coming back to the launch event, one of the main themes this year was sustainability as Apple claimed it is using even more recycled metals in its devices and that some of its new smartwatches are now carbon neutral.
