People shared jokes and memes about Apple not announcing a new iPhone during a special event.
Gadget lovers around the world watched Apple’s Time Flies event on Tuesday hoping to find out about an iPhone 12, but were disappointed. Soon, social media was filled with inquiries about why the iPhone 12 was not mentioned and there were memes and jokes about the notable exclusion.
Instead of a new phone, the tech giant introduced its latest watch models and a revamped line of low-cost, mid-range iPads. The company announced the launch of a Watch SE, Watch Series 6, iPad Air, 8th generation iPad and some new services.
Since no new phone was mentioned, many joked that they had already sold their previous iPhones in hopes of buying a new one. The company was also mocked by many for not meeting popular demand.

Unlike Apple’s other mega-events, this one was quite different as CEO Tim Cook was seen speaking from the glass corridors of Apple Park, and not from the Steve Jobs Theater. He was seen walking along the glass panes of Apple’s impressive headquarters, talking to the camera.
Despite hitting a new peak when it comes to performance, the Apple CEO made no reference to the company’s health and jumped straight into the details of the new watch.
