With the new update, Apple iPhone users won’t be able to modify their iPhones as they won’t be exposed to Tweets. Netizens are making fun of them with sarcastic memes.

“Microsoft employees will finally be able to buy iPhones…” wrote one user.

Another user wrote, “I bought an iPhone literally just for this two weeks ago…”

That’s their reaction.
