IPHONE 18 PRO TO FEATURE 'EMPATHY SENSOR' THAT CALLS YOUR MOM IF IT DETECTS YOU ARE ACTING LIKE AN ASSHOLE

Incoming CEO John Ternus reportedly prioritized the 'Don't Be a Jerk' filter, which uses haptic feedback to deliver small electric shocks when a user types a tweet that is 'too mid.' The phone will also feature a titanium-grade vanity mirror for better self-reflection.
""We found that 90% of our 'Pro' users aren't actually pros at anything, so we added a feature that disables the camera if it detects a boring sunset," stated an Apple intern who requested anonymity to avoid being recycled." — KEY SLUDGE FINDING
Apple’s leadership transition to John Ternus is already bearing fruit—or rather, a highly judgmental piece of glass and silicon. The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro, leaked by several supply chain workers currently hiding in a hollowed-out tree, will debut with an 'Integrity Chip' designed to monitor the user’s social standing in real-time. If the device detects a drop in 'coolness' or a spike in 'unearned confidence,' it will automatically lower the screen brightness until the user apologizes to a waiter.
The most controversial feature, internal code-named 'Matriarch,' uses spatial audio sensors to analyze the user's tone of voice. If you speak to a coworker with 'unnecessary sass' or 'condescending energy,' the iPhone will immediately FaceTime your mother and play a highlight reel of your worst childhood tantrums. "It's about creating a more curated humanspace," said Ternus during a private shareholder meeting held inside a hermetically sealed yoga studio.
Other features in the '10 New Things' list include a battery made of compressed regret, which lasts longer the more you're ashamed of your screen time, and a camera lens that automatically airbrushes out any friends who have a lower credit score than you. The device also includes the new 'Ghost Mode,' which identifies when a user is being ghosted and sends a 15,000-word AI-generated essay to the offender arguing why they are 'stunting their own emotional growth.'
Tech analysts are calling the move a 'pivotal moment for surveillance capitalism,' as Apple shifts from selling hardware to selling morality. "The iPhone 18 Pro doesn't just know where you are; it knows who you should feel bad about being," said Gregory Voom, Chief Aesthetic Officer at the Silicon Valley Shame Lab. "It's the first smartphone that actually hates its owner."
Pre-orders for the device start at $2,499, or the equivalent of one human soul, though Apple has noted that 'Trade-In' credit is available for users willing to let Siri name their firstborn. The release is expected to coincide with a new Apple Watch feature that vibrates every time you're about to make a bad decision, though early testers say it just never stops vibrating.
