Reality Distortion Field:

The optimism, excitement, and goodwill surrounding a product/service announcement wherein any negative aspects are downplayed or ignored altogether. Reality Distortion Fields can last from as little as a few hours and up to several months, depending on when the product/service comes to market and resulting bugs and glitches come to light. Most often associated with Apple, specifically Apple products introduced at a keynote by Steve Jobs.
Generally, the term is utilized only after the Reality Distortion Field has worn off e.g. "Now that the Reality Distortion Field has faded, we can see the iPhone isn't the Jesus Phone we thought it was."
