Twitter users react to massive launch of new iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch
APPLE devotees are over the moon, but not everyone will be rushing out to buy a new iPhone 6 or Apple Watch.
APPLE have unveiled two new iPhones — the big-screen iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus — as well as a new payments system and the long-awaited Apple Watch.
CEO Tim Cook called them “amazing products”, saying the massive launch in California was one of Apple’s most important days.

The new iPhones and watch may have silenced critics who says the tech giant has not been able to maintain the cutting-edge innovation it showed under late founder Steve Jobs, with many fans taking to social media to praise the new products.

#iPhone6 has an 8MP iSight camera, 1.5µ pixels, Æ/2.2 aperture. And an all-new sensor. Basically, itâs awesome. http://t.co/fwCQlBl7O6

However, others were less impressed with the new products and the hype surrounding the launch.
So excited for the Apple Watch. For centuries, weâve checked the time by looking at our phones. Having it on your wrist? Genius. #AppleLive

Say what you will about Apple but I think it was really bold of them to release an Android phone.

Theres a reason the #iphone6 looks soo similar to many android based phones on the market & its new features are nothing new for #android

Some also pointed out Apple was asking people to trust them with their credit card details after a massive celebrity nude photo leak many blame on iCloud.
#iphone6 Take a picture of your credit card and add it to your phone to enable payments? Telling this after the #iTunes nude photo leak?
