I'm fine with that, since the pre-recorded ones are more polished and focused. I want to learn about the products (hardware and software) and Apple has been better at delivering that information since they went to pre-recorded.
hate to say it, but I'm with you here. Nintendo Directs are one of my favorite things to look forward to. (flawless formatting here by the way; R.I.P Iwata 💜)Good. Classic live events were full of boring moments and some moments of cringe. Going to a livestream Nintendo Direct format has been better than ever since they trim the fat and get right to what you want and delivering said info
DIRECTLY
to you. (I miss you Satoru Iwata)
I just can't believe it took COVID for other companies to follow Nintendo's successful marketing strategy.
live keynotes post-Jobs/post-Schiller are just not it. the only person that comes close to having their stage presence is Kevin Lynch, the lovable, enthusiastic, goofy nerd that he is. (he feels almost like someone you want to root for, if that makes any sense? dude went full-speed ahead with the Watch and was integral to making it what it is today. I still miss Time Travel, I'd bet anything that was his pet project and just didn't take off the way it should have.)
we don't have a combined hour of useless applause for new features anymore. we don't get shocks and gasps tripping up presenters when they're showing something as f—king ridiculous as a $1k stand, or…wheels. things are to the point, concise (unlike my own comment 😝), and I can actually fit watching the keynote into my day while getting to have my own "viewing party" uninterrupted by Apple simps in the live audience.
the only thing I can see a live keynote being good for at this point is the headset. but I don't think we will get that. no one was as flawless at demoing items (in their INCREDIBLY volatile state, everything planned to a TEE with multiple replacement devices if needed) as Jobs. plain and simple. his original iPhone/iPad demos live in my head rent-free.
Yeah WWDC is pretty boring compared to the Job’s era. I used to have a gear orgasm when I saw the “one more thing” on the screen.
Covid pandemic is over. It is now considered to be endemic.
We're obviously not looking at the same data.
2,060 deaths last week. 1 year ago, there were 5,623 deaths. How is the death rate, in your words, the same? It was more than 2x higher a year ago... close to 3x what it was last week.
The word you're looking for is "endemic"
I'm sure it's SO much easier to do it this way that they don't want to go back to in person events. As much as I loved attending WWDC over the years, the Moscone center was always kinda a nightmare. Never enough space, WIFI always sucked, and super inconvenient for Apple. I do hope they go back to in-person events again, but can understand them wanting to give it up.
They could just put in multi-colored ones that work with Matter.
There's a video by MrWhoseTheBoss that explains it best why Apple Event livestreams bring the hype while other companies like Samsung don't:
Essentially, they don't make it about the product, they make it about you, and what you can do with the product. They show what makes the product work, and how they're making it better, and how it'll make your life better. Versus Samsung that's like "okay here's the new Galaxy S phone see ya later!"

Ok, let's over-examine the image first...
So, looks lens-y..
So, images will be a focus (see what I did there?) of the keynote.
So, along with the rumored AR/VR headset announcement, expect improvements to all things having to do with cameras and imaging on Macs and iPhones and iPads..
Now, wild speculation...
My guess for the name of macOS 14 - Laguna Seca*
The OS update will focus on speed, performance, stability. Speed improvements for AI/image processing/Search/Siri/Video/gaming, etc, etc
There will also be ties to CarPlay and the rumored Apple Car, and to promote all of that.. Apple sponsoring something involving motorsports, especially at Laguna Seca. An EV Endurance race? Something.
(*Yes, yes, I know, it's now called Weathertech Raceway.. I'll call it Laguna Seca forever, sorry)

With notifications like this:
it kinda makes me wonder why they have so many OSs. It looks like the Scully years, except in software.
So the leak is the Apple Park itself? it's the monocle AR?
Funny to analyse the comments here pre-WWDC announcement and post-WWDC announcement 🤩 All sins of Apple forgiven and forgotten.

Obvious Campus 2 compared to glasses thats a bit of stretch since at best it would be DTK this WWDC 2023 year. Might as well say they are pretty AirTags too.
Mostly UI differences following the hardware. It's not that different at the core.
It's going to be REALLY interesting to see what Apple does with iOS 17. Due to legal pressures from the European Union antitrust authorities and the DoJ Antitrust Division in the USA, iOS 17 may (in my opinion!) essentially be iOS 16.5 but with improvements to Notifications, support for multiple app stores inside the App Store app, open access to the NFC functionality and the ability to use other web browsers with their own web layout engines (Blink with Chrome, Gecko with Fireflx).
