First, let's get all those "sana all" reactions out of the way—you could quite literally turn the comments section of the Facebook post into a drinking game and come out barely able to remember your own name. While we know some of you are sick of seeing the tired old expression repeated all over social media, you have to admire the commenters who tried to keep it creative with funny GIFs.

Other commenters went for a more positive approach, sharing their newly purchased iPhone 13 models, for which they likely lined up for quite some time. While some out there may feel a tinge of jealousy for the people who got to buy the device as soon as it hit stores, let's also take a moment to applaud their patience—waiting in lines that long must have been brutal.

Some of those who weren't able to buy any of the iPhone 13 models did manage to come through with hilarious reactions to Power Mac Center's post. Most commonly, we spotted folks dreaming up unconventional ways to save up the funds for the iPhone 13—from selling kidneys to finding sugar daddies and more. Hey, we don't judge!
