Of course, it didn’t take long for pranksters and comedians (both amateur and pro) from all over the Internet to weigh in on Cupertino’s latest baby, and some of the reactions we saw were absolutely priceless.

So, we thought we would share some of them with you.

Ellen Degeneres

The comedy veteran and talk show host wasted no time, offering her own take on the Apple Watch while flashing the razor sharp wit she’s well known for.

The Oatmeal

The creator of The Oatmeal comic site poked fun at the Apple Watch while offering a tip of the hat to one of Apple’s arch rivals as well.

The Onion

The satirical news website gave its two cents on the Apple Watch and iPhone 6/6 Plus announcements with this article. Here’s a quick taste.

“Ending weeks of anticipation and intense speculation, tech giant Apple unveiled a short and fleeting moment of excitement to the general public Tuesday during a media event at its corporate headquarters,” The Onion said.

Then, there’s this piece from The Onion about the Apple Watch’s key features. The Onion says that, among other things, the Watch “allows wearers to start and stop the flow of time.”

Well, that should at least halt the cries of “Apple doesn’t innovate anymore!”

Comedy Central

Somewhere, someone will probably make this unfortunate mistake once the Apple Watch is released, actually.

Reddit

This Reddit thread teases leaks about Apple wear-ables, and pairs that with links to images.

We won’t give this one away or offer any sneak peeks, but we will say that what you’ll see when you open those links will at least be somewhat painful to look at.

Don’t worry though, we promise that they’re SFW and not graphic in any way.

Stuart Ashen

British comedian Stuart Ashen’s reaction to the Apple Watch drips with sarcasm.

Various Twitter users

This guy found a creative way to get an Apple time-keeping device without having to actually pay up for the $349 Watch.

This fellow is very skeptical about the Apple Watch’s ability to spark a fitness revolution.

Here’s another interesting take on “Apple wearable device.”

Bonus reaction from The Oatmeal – NSFW

We think the GIF here might be the funniest reaction we’ve seen to the Apple Watch so far, but the tweet that it’s paired with does contain a bit of salty language.

You’ve been warned.

I love the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic because of one important feature
A person wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.

The minute I put the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic on, I knew it was the new Samsung smartwatch for me. I immediately forgot all about the Galaxy Z Fold 5 I was holding in my other hand and focused on its superb design, spot-on color choice, and really comfortable strap.

I only spent a short while with the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, but as you can probably already tell, it made a very strong impression. Here's a first look.

How much is Apple Music, and how can you get it for free?

Apple Music is one of the best music streaming services available, offering a catalog of more than 100 million songs, all in high-quality lossless audio at no additional cost, as well as a huge amount of albums and tracks in Dolby Atmos spatial audio, which if you haven't heard it, is music on a whole other immersive level. And while it does play a close second fiddle to Spotify's excellent UI and music discovery (as well as in global subscriptions), the Cupertino music streamer is still a giant and is loaded with cool features, live shows, and exclusives making it a tricky choice if you're deciding which to run with.

But the biggest factor for most is how much it costs. While there are some limited-time "free" options and a free trial you can cash in on to check out Apple Music, if you stick with the service long enough, you will end up paying. Let's take a closer look at how much Apple Music is.
