Social media has become the largest platform for sharing news whether positive or negative. Recently, the spotlight has been on the launch of Apple’s latest iPhone series.
Apple introduced four models in the lineup: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air, the company’s thinnest and lightest smartphone ever, attracted special attention. Bengali industrial designer Abidur Chowdhury, who designed the phone, was praised during the launch event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California.
However, social media has been flooded with criticism, especially aimed at the Apple 17 Pro Max. While some fans appreciate the new design, many others are ridiculing it, calling it pointless and saying Apple has ruined its look. One of the most mocked features is the Cosmic Orange color option for the Pro Max, with jokes about who would even choose that shade.

Despite the design backlash, the new iPhone series boasts powerful upgrades, including the latest processors, enhanced displays, improved camera systems, and larger storage capacity. Every model incorporates Apple Intelligence, which combines the company’s AI technology with iOS to offer innovative generative features.
Apple faces this kind of trolling every year, partly because of the intense speculation and rumors that surround its product launches. Expectations are often high, and not every rumor proves true, leaving some customers disappointed. Additionally, Apple is gradually losing market share as competitors like Samsung and Google gain popularity by introducing multiple innovative models and features. Unlike before, buyers no longer feel compelled to wait for Apple releases or go to extreme lengths to purchase their products.
