I'm no longer the Apple/Mac/Jobs fan-boy I once was in my earlier days, but I do miss the Apple presentations that felt like they were run by a human being wanting to show off cool stuff.

I couldn't even finish the last Apple presentations as it all feels so stiff, inhuman and run by suits, they all seem like robots scared of diverging from the holy script who will get fired if they display emotions and humanity.

Off-topic perhaps, but got reminded how delightful even the somewhat messy ad-hoc presentations from Jobs were.

I agree 100%. I stopped watching after iPhone 15 event or maybe M2.

Absolutely everything seems scripted including hand movements, shifting of postures, smiles..the whole works.

Now I just wait for the press release and that’s that.

The scripted talks in front of fancy backgrounds do make it unpalatable, it’s just a fancier version of corporate slideshows. I suppose trillion-dollar companies aren’t as willing to take risks.

Apple keeps solving the same old problems. Why are we still talking about how well their buttons behave?
