The announcement has already attracted attention from prominent figures in the tech world. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took to X to share his excitement, stating, “First new iPhone upgrade I have really wanted in a while! Looks very cool.”
Netizens give mixed reactions
Public reaction to the launch, however, has been mixed. Some social media users have responded with humour, comparing the iPhone 17’s design to a mouse’s eyes, or posting memes featuring the cartoon character Tom smashing the new device.
Appreciating the iPhone 17 lineup, an Apple fan said, “I'm amused to see people who can't even buy a good android mobile and still they are trolling apple for new iphone design 🤡 #iPhone17 #iPhone17Pro.”
Not all reactions were positive, particularly regarding the iPhone 17 Pro models. X user @sui_ninja expressed disappointment, tweeting, “Am I the only one who thinks the new iPhone 17 Pro Max looks ugly? They ruined the design.” Another user, Sumit Behal, went further, describing the device as “the most ugliest iPhone ever” and claiming, “Steve Jobs would have fired everyone in his era.”
Affordability also emerged as a talking point, with one X user joking, “me watching the unveiling of iPhone 17 knowin’ that I’ll only afford it in 2032 #AppleEvent.”
