I find it sad that they're doing it all pre-recorded.

Yeah, I wish they would go back to live, or at least parts of it live. They did a great job during the pandemic but it has lost some humanity and authenticity.

Live was fine for Steve Jobs most people aren’t Steve Jobs who had the gift.

They still had other presenters at those.

Let a video do the big reveal and overview then let the people talk about details or do demos.

I don’t know exactly toy. But there must be something with a little more life.

I remember the presentation of the first iPhone and the extreme contrast of Steve Jobs to the representative of the cellular provider. Scroll to 1:11 and see for yourself:

Yes they had some good other presenters at the keynotes but Steve Jobs was extraordinary.

Especially with the studio recorded voices that uncannily don’t quite match the video.

I think they switched to prerecorded after the failed Face ID demo. Remember that?
