She’s probably singing the key note.

L = Roman numeral for 50 (like iPhone X was for 10th anniversary of iPhone)
L is what foldable would look like from one direction

Obsessed with “celebrity” as per usual.

Will somebody please think about the ‘influencers’
because then it becomes unmanageable. This way, you just happen to be there. You get a treat.

I call them influenzas. A virus on humanity.
Honest question: Do YouTubers even know who Alicia Keys is?
Okay, perhaps the older ones.

If your family knew about this concert and all the other things about Apple that you don't like, do you think they would care?
A big turnaround from her BlackBerry Global Creative Director days.
Hah.

Why not? Many or most of them are not rich. And Apple gets some inexpensive publicity out of it. Win-win. If Apple is going to only invite a handful of people, that's the right business move. Who else are they going to invite--Macrumors users? So we can later post on MR to tell each other the things that we found to hate about it? And if you think they should have announced a free public Alicia Keys concert in NYC to the world ahead of time, you're not thinking of the utter chaos of the hoards of people trying to be there and get the best views. And since it's a functioning public terminal, it could be that they weren't allowed to announce it.

No, celebrity for the sake of it is tone deaf. Alicia Keys is phenomenal.
Apple isn't worried about making a viral moment. They know they're the kings of consumer tech.

Of course! What a life for some Apple ‘executives’! Screw all the Apple staff who were off the list 👍

Really, the execs get to attend? How about having held it for the workers of the store. Show some appreciation as well as live the values of being a company for the people.

So where's the big banners with pictures of Woz and Jobs, celebrating the folks that actually put in the work and made Apple?

Nah, I would rather go home and sleep. Never really bothered with these sort of events.

It’s okay. The uproar then proved that Apple users don’t deserve free stuff (because we are our own worse enemies), and I think it’s fitting that henceforth, we never have (received any free stuff).
