Aiming to ace the selfie game, Apple on Tuesday announced the all-new iPhone 11 with the all-new feature called Slofie. As weird as the term Slofie may sound to you, but did you wonder what does it mean or what is it all about? To answer the question, Slofie, as the name suggests is Apple's new selfie on slo-mo feature introduced with the iPhone 11. Using slofie, Apple wants you to capture slow-motion selfies (as if people's weren't already taking them enough). Hence, it's called a slofie (slow-motion selfie).  During their annual event on Tuesday, Apple introduced three new phone- iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max with the three focusing primarily on the camera. All three new iPhones offer a slow-motion selfie feature.

'But first, let me take a slofie...'

It didn't take long for Twitterati to have a field day over the term coined by Apple. The internet was filled with some really rib-tickling gifs and reactions almost as soon as it was uttered. One Twitter user shared a still of Mr Bean staring at something and wrote, "Me if I hear anyone ask for a "Slofie". Meanwhile, another Twitter user called it the "worst word of 2019". While posting a picture of a Koala bear, who is known to be lazy, another Twitter user wrote, "Can this be the thing instead...?"
