Appleause 

ap-ple-ause, (apəlˈlôz)

Variation of "applause".

The rabid excitement following an Apple product launch, and/or praise of a new Apple product as the grand solution to the collective issues of the previous iterations.

This usually leads to an impulse purchase resulting in either:

1) vehement denial of any and all flaws regarding said product
2) bemoaning any and all flaws regarding said product and its rushed or illogical release
There was so much appleause surrounding the release of the white iPhone that no one paid attention to the fact that it was an identical device with no new features.

Best example: watch any Apple keynote or product launch.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
