Because Apple leads from the rear. They take what has been done, and try to leverage it.
They are not an innovative leader. They've become a "me too" company.

Ah my bad. But still he makes the show. Being executive producer isn't the same.
Unscripted?
Was unscripted. Now it'll be highly scripted to a point that it'll kill off whatever remaining following it had.
Apple and I going through a midlife crisis together! Who da thunk it? I do weird things to my hair. They buy weird faddish crap and Chinese Uber. We both look awkward and silly. 
You are not alone. Trust me.
Guess we'll find out when the Apple Car comes out. Hoping it's not a Malibu Barbie inspired convertible without a hardtop option.
Is anyone making a dedicated list of all the bizarre, goofy things Apple has done in about the past 3 years?
Maybe starting with the regression of the mac mini's everyone was waiting on all going dual core, from then on?
Would be hilarious.

I dunno. Eddie Cue does often dress like a Ken doll I owned in 1977.
Let's hope he doesn't have any influence on the Apple Car whatsoever!
lol right? They are so behind when it comes to "trendy" things especially stuff concerning the youngsters. I was surprised they disnt use "bae" at their last keynote. Its like my mum trying to be "edgy" or "on fleek"

Hmmm.... With that in mind, the Apple Car might resemble a Hummer. It's undeniable that the Ken doll would have a severe case of p@n;s envy and need to compensate with a land yacht for a car.
Eddy Cue.....that guy must never be in his office. He clearly isn't attending meetings or checking his voicemail. Though I can't really blame him....the meetings are probably all watch band this political correctness that. Maybe he is actually the smart one there and sees the ship about to sink.....can't believe I just implied Eddy was intelligent ....long day!
Sometimes "smart" is simply knowing when the end is coming and getting as much cash as possible without investing more energy into the sinking ship.
I see what they did there...
To be honest I'd far rather Apple promoted a service I won't use on TV shows I won't watch, than interrupt shows I do watch with adverts I won't respond to. So knock yourselves out Apple. Apple Music is not targeted at me, and I'm ok with that, and I'm pleased if that extends to how they choose to advertise it.
I rather think Michelle O is better playing Harrison Ford's sidekick in the first few Star Wars movies...
If Apple Music would include live concerts, concert recordings, music documentaries and a music video channel like the early MTV I would subscribe in a heartbeat.
Why is the London Roundhouse Festival not online anymore? It was great watching those artists. Would be great if I could watch it again. Would pay for this. Hear this, Eddie?

I'm now enticed to give Corden's version of the LLS another chance. I tried watching it a few times after he took the show over from the brilliant Craig Ferguson, but just didn't find Corden to be funny at all. Maybe he's grown into it?
Ugh. I am so sick of this carpool karaoke business. Okay, the first 2-3 times funny. But we really don't need to see every music artist doing this fad. Way to beat a sketch to death...
All terrible things to come from apple:
Mac Mini Regression
MacPro GPU non upgradable
Apple touchpad
Wireless Mac Keyboard
Wireless Mouse Charging location
Apple Pencil Charging
iPhone battery case bump
Macbook only one port
Because they announce a new gimmick as part of the Apple Music service? And why does Apple have to be going in a direction to suit anyone? Surely they are a company that makes products and sells services and you can choose to buy or not to buy, is it compulsory to only buy Apple where you live?
Yea because this has taken every single designer, programmer, developer and engineer to sort out. It's crazy how thousands of people have had to stop work to negotiate this.
Is Apple only allowed to do one thing? I don't see how something for Apple Music slows down a refresh that you will be disapointed with anyway....
It will be my pleasure. How exactly would you like to die?
Wash your mouth out. Your mother must be so proud.
If you think a teeny gimmick on Apple Music will impact how you use an iPad you probably should return it.
You need to get out more.
