Apple shocked the tech world this morning with its new Smart Battery case for the iPhone 6 and 6S. Reactions were, to put it delicately, mixed.
While Mashable's Senior Tech Correspondent Christina Warren generally liked the case, many took umbrage with its design -- specifically, the hump. Many also saw this case's existence as Apple admitting that the battery life on its smaller iPhones leaves something to be desired, especially since it didn't release a battery case for the Plus-sized iPhones.
As you'd expect, many voiced their displeasure with Apple in the internet's favorite town hall, Twitter. Here are the best reactions to Apple's new design direction.
