If there’s anything I’m talented at, it’s getting into places I shouldn’t be, I’m not even sure how I do it, it just happens. However, since there’s no in person event even happening anymore, and if there was, you have to be a big YouTube star or developer, I don’t see it happening. Maybe it’s time to start making an app lol, hopefully by next year they return to in person events, and one of these years we can get in 👽.
I’d just be happy with a tour of the spaceship, I’ve been wanting to check out the inside since it was built, and I’m dying to skip rocks in the pond ⛲️

I see an all new transparent neon ui coming for iOS 17.
I would love that. Mt. St. Helena is visible from the back yard of my childhood home, and I was always begging my parents to let me hike it. (They never did, and then I moved away and so I never did.)
I went there last year and it was scary!
Check it out!
Oh wow, I was there once back in 2017, I believe it had just opened at that point, I stayed in the visitor center thing the whole time. The bathrooms underground and the tunnels leading to them truly do look like you are in a spaceship. Made me sad to think that Steve never got to see the place.
In 2013 I was up in the Bay Area for work and had to swing by the Apple campus, I was surprised to see no security and was able to drive into the lot and take pictures. Sadly it was a weekend so the visitor store was closed, but sure enough, within seconds there was security all over. One of them just asked me what I was up to, told him I just wanted some pics and wanted to buy something but couldn’t since it was closed. That place was intense even back then.
We need to talk to Craig about giving Apple's two biggest fans a tour one of these days.🥰
I hope there are some surprises to IOS 17. I read a post on reddit the other day about the Alarm clock and how Android does it a lot better (especially asking if you want to turn it off if you wake up before the alarm) and I really wish that was an apple thing. I wish I can wake up, check my phone and have it say something like "Good Morning" and ask what I want to do. Maybe that's the whole focus system, and if it is, maybe it can be a whole lot more simplified. I'm finding IOS on Apple can be a bit convoluted at times.
So long as they announce the liquidation of Craig Federighi and his fellow idiots responsible for the deplorable state of MacOS X (yes I'm still calling it OSX), iOS & iPad OS, I'm cool with w/e they announce
And if they ask for pictures?
The wife, one day, said that she was going to call in dead. Ah, but they would want me to produce a body, right? "Crap!!"
She worked at a hospital at the time, and yeah, they would DEFINITELY want to see a body at some point.
You know he won't. Unlike Steve, Timmy only gives a **** about how much it can make him.
He could care less about Apple
I miss the live shows for the audience reactions. I really wish someone had had to stand there in front of a crowd of real people and say “you no longer have to deal with a SIM card!” to see the real reaction, instead of being able to get away with that condescending tripe.
Serious question, has he ever demoed anything? I feel like he would be the exact opposite of Steve Jobs. He could be showing off something awesome and make me not want to buy it. He is many good things but a showman he is not.
Although he has been a speaker at many events to direct the flow of the presentation he's usually let the responsible managers for what is being demoed control everything being discussed rather the Steve Jobs attempted to present a show that sometimes has "opps we don't have that working" to contend with.

But that was the best part. It was more real. Now their presentations are artificial like everything else.
Steve could do a demo that didn’t go well of a product that was unfinished, and he presented it so well you wanted it anyway.
I don’t know who could demo these AR goggles and make it look cool, but I think Tim knows it definitely is not him.
The latest industrial tack is to produce these videos and have someone following it address questions like WWDC will do.
It's only the rarer CES, IFA Berlin keynotes where someone major comes out to pre-announce upcoming products for the year. Given the tech complexity and don't want an impression caused by answering something incorrectly it would be a real challenge to go back to earlier demos IMHO.

Oh yeah I don’t think we’re going back. That era is gone along with many things.
They weren’t terribly interactive in the first place in terms of Q&A. And while the person in charge of the project is certainly a logical choice, as we’ve seen public speaking is not a common skill.
I’m not criticizing Tim in particular, most CEOs don’t do demos. It’s just that Steve was a tough act to follow with the iPod, iPhone and iPad demos. Apple hasn’t released a new product like that since then (I don’t think Watch counts). Steve, in the case of the iPad, literally sat down on a couch and showed you how he used it. I think the AR glasses are on the same level, someone needs to show me how they use it to make me want to use it too. Not sure who that is at Apple anymore.
I think the best presenter they have left is of course Craig Federighi. But the goggles would mess up his hair. Maybe that’s why he should be the one to do it. If anyone can make it look cool, it has to be him.
“Got me out here waving a damn flag. It’s too damn bright. Whose idea was this anyway. I don’t even like cars.”
Steve Jobs told him not to try to think what he would do, but to follow his own path.
He has done that rather well
