Not surprising if the mentally handicapp can use this user friendly device, I'm sure apes can too.

No...they thought about using android devices, then they remembered planet of the apes and decided to give them worthless play toys from Apple instead.

DUDE! I agree but Apes rescuing humans doesn't sell that well though. '
As for jokes there is something funny about poo flingers playing with an ipad and possibly flinging an Angry Bird.
