Has the selfie game as we know it just been changed for good?

At its event on Tuesday, Apple debuted the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, which feature upgraded cameras and multiple lenses.

Among the cool new camera features, however, the company also announced that those who buy the new phones will have the ability to take slow-motion selfies, which, it declared, are now officially known as "Slofies."

It seemed as though Apple may have coined the term to make a joke about the new feature before the rest of us could, but that hasn't stopped people from poking fun at the new term.

Selfies walked so slofies could run walk even slower.
