iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c start going on sale today, but we’ve got the memes

20 Sep 2013

Today is the day consumers in 11 countries can get their hands on Apple’s new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c when it becomes available in Apple retail stores and Apple’s Online Stores, but we present memes about the new devices for the enjoyment of everyone.

While the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c goes on sale today in the UK, US, Canada, China, Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, and Singapore, consumers in the rest of the world can expect to receive the smartphones by December.

Apple describes the iPhone 5s as “the most forward-thinking smartphone in the world” and the iPhone 5c as “the most colourful iPhone yet”. 

Memes about the devices mock the poshness of the higher-end iPhone 5s with fingerprint authentication, while the iPhone 5c has been maligned for its colourful variations (inspired by Nokia’s Lumia range of smartphones, perhaps?) and protective cases featuring punched-out holes.
