It’s that time of year again, when Apple shove all their new products down our throats while running out of superlatives to use to describe them.
Naturally, Twitter erupts into a sea of good-willed bantering during the Apple events, and this year has been no different.
The live stream started with music from Apple Music’s Beats1.
I wonder if this is the most people who've listened to Beats1 at one time #AppleEvent #Apple

To be fair, it was a massive improvement on what we usually get.
When Tim Cook got on stage, people were quick to notice his usually un-tucked shirt was tucked in.
Breaking: Apple CEO Tim Cook appears on stage. AND HIS SHIRT IS TUCKED IN! #AppleEvent

It just didn’t seem natural.

Thus began a running count of the people on stage and whether their shirts were tucked or un-tucked.
4 men have been on stage untucked shirts: 2 tucked shirts: 2 Follow me for more important #AppleEvent updates

And as Tim Cook started talking about the Apple Watch people were like…

Apple announced that Hermes would be making Apple Watches, and this surprisingly opened up room for a Dragonball-Z joke.

There were some cool app updates regarding the watch, but…

Even the new ability to listen to a baby’s heartbeat in the uterus wasn’t enough for the hugely popular Jony Ive parody account.
But can the baby send a sketch of its heart as well!? #AppleEvent

Nonetheless, the people in the venue were as enthusiastic as ever.
"omg omg wooooooooooah woahhhhhhhhhhhhh omg wowowowowowo" Everyone right now. #AppleEvent

Before long things got very meta, as Cook prepared to announce the new iPad Pro.
Now thats meta #AppleEvent pic.twitter.com/oUrYdJ2yDV

The difference? The iPad Pro is BIGGER – and here’s what all of this means for you:
Imagine how annoying tourists are going to be when they are using even bigger iPads to make photos… #AppleEvent

And also:
Can you imagine that falling on your face when you’re in bed. Could cause a serious injury. lol. #AppleEvent

There were some suggestions for what iPad Pro is short for.
iPad Pro is short for iPad Progressively Larger Until You’re Just Carrying Around a 24” Touch Screen Monitor. #AppleEvent

As well as suggestions for the person in the video promoting the new iPad.
IS THAT GOD HIMSELF #AppleEvent pic.twitter.com/t4EAyzSccF

It could well be guys, Apple have that sway.
And suggestions for its new features.
BREAKING: Apple unveils an iPad the size of a Satellite Tile. It doubles as a coffee table as it sits unused in your house. #AppleEvent

There was an awkward moment as Apple announced the Pencil to go with the iPad… which is pretty much just a stylus.
Never forget. #AppleEvent pic.twitter.com/zoVRLd41NS

Steve Jobs detested styluses, and at a similar event had sarcastically asked “Who wants a stylus?”.
APPLE PENCIL??? Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave. He hated the idea of a stylus #AppleEvent
— StackSocial (@StackSocial) September 9, 2015
Much sarcasm ensued.
Now I just need an apple pencil case and ruler then my stationary dreams will be realised. #AppleEvent

There was some joy as there appeared finally to be some diversity on stage… but it turns out we shouldn’t have gotten excited.
OH LOOK, A WOMAN! She's a model. Inside an app. There to be pretty. This is great, you guys. #AppleEvent
— Faruk Ateş (@KuraFire) September 9, 2015
Did they really just use Photoshop in a demo to force a woman to smile? How is this really happening? #AppleEvent
— Rachel King (@rachelking) September 9, 2015
First woman on stage and she got photoshopped. #appleEvent

But the strangest thing regarding the iPad was yet to come, as a MICROSOFT EMPLOYEE was welcomed on to the stage. Followed by one from Adobe!
They… They just invited a Microsoft developer to their demo #AppleLive
— C:\ (@ms_dos5) September 9, 2015
I think Microsoft was there to give everyone a chance to go refill their coffee #AppleEvent
— Pete Halvorsen (@petehalvorsen) September 9, 2015
