Amidst worldwide anticipation and intense expectation, Apple Inc. launched the new iPhone 6 on Tuesday, 9 September.

The new phone costs $900(N155,000), and while many are thrilled with its size and features, others, not so much, as they say it is an imitation of Android phones like Htc, Samsung and Nexus.

Micro-blogging platfrom, Twitter, was abuzz with conversation of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus release, and as always, everyone had their opinions about the new device.

Htc took the imitation claims a notch higher, insinuating that Apple copied Htc M8, also tweeting a subliminal shot at Apple, saying, “Bigger screen. Better performance. Elegant design. Welcome to the party #iPhone6.”

Here are the top reactions to the new Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Until an #iPhone can vaporise my enemies AND make cheese on toast, I will continue to be nonplussed by Apple’s tedious tinkering
