After unveiling the iPhone 6 at Apple’s event on Tuesday, September 9, Apple CEO Tim Cook took a page from Steve Jobs’ book when he announced the highly-anticipated iWatch, which turns out is actually called Apple Watch.
"We're not quite finished yet. We have one more thing," Cook said, as he unveiled the new wearable device.
Apple fans, tech geeks, and deep-pocketed gadget freaks applauded and salivated over the watch. Those in attendance at Apple’s event at the Flint Center in Cupertino, CA gave Cook a standing ovation when he revealed the new device. But not everyone reacted so enthusiastically to the Apple Watch reveal. Just take a look at how Twitter handled the news:
AppleWatch. Now people can know you're a tool without looking at your face.

I wanna laugh at the #iWatch, but I laughed at the iPad, so that's how much I know. — Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) September 9, 2014
As you raise your hands above your head the #iwatch will let law enforcement know not to shoot. This feature is known as innocent

If a normal watch battery lasts 1 yr , I assume the #iWatch dies in about 1 hr. #whatwaswrongwithwatches? — Captain Mohawk (@Captain_Mohawk) September 9, 2014
