It won't happen. Remember Covid 19? Apple will not risk opening its doors to infect the Apple auditorium.

In the Guardian today….
Apple has reportedly asked Taiwan-based suppliers to label their products as being produced in China, in an effort to avoid disruption from strict Chinese customs inspections resulting from the visit of the US House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, to Taipei

They’re almost too polished some how. I loved the first few but it’s becoming repetitive now.
This year it’ll be more of an advertisement for Apple Park, enticing employees to actually come back.
I dont want fame, just the exposure and the fame 😜
Grasping hands in front of you is actually a presentation technique the public speaking pros teach.
I think both the pre-recorded and the live events have pros and cons. The live events feel far more natural and less robotic/cheesy. We are all very aware they are trying to sell products but the whole enthusiasm of it is forced and just cringe within the pre-recorded events. However, at least they are straight to the point and have less filler.
Correct. Symbolic in this instance of calm, trust, and "I'm absolutely not filling your heads with marketing bullcrap (even though probably I am)"
Reminds me of the original scripted bloopers…at the end of A Bug’s Life…really, really clever and very funny stuff!
Will it be better than the last pre-recorded stale presentation? Can Apple surpass the comfort zone….
But there’s always someone on an upgrade cycle who is.
F’rinstance, my 11Pro is getting replaced this fall as I switch from ATT to TMob.
Are you just baiting, or are you ready to explain what you mean in the context of this thread’s topic?
Nope. We as a society need to get back into the world and interact with each other.
Especially for the young adults coming into the real world. We humans are social animals and we need to work and play in person.
The novelty wore off after the first one. These people get paid billions of dollars in salary and stock options and they can’t even pull off a live powerpoint presentation. The “jokes” are cringe, there is no improvisation or normal human emotion, superficial and contrived diversity at every occasion, it’s the worst of micro-managed corporate propaganda.

Well not repetitive for one and there is something just less engaging about watching a pre-recorded presentation.
Moving things forward I could see there being a half way house which mixes some pre-recorded elements in with a live presentation with audience which could work well.
Twenty years from now, if they are still doing product presentations, it will probably be a synthetic voice in your ear, played on demand by a thought trigger.
I guess my point is that a live presentation is much more human than a recorded event edited for perfection.
“Much more human“ is what I’m yearning for.
One of the important cogs that makes the bricks and mortar Apple Store work is the opportunity to make connections with employees and vice versa. My local (well, not really ‘local’ — 60 miles away) still has a few employees that have been with the store since it opened more than 15 years ago.
I hope at some point Apple realizes that maintaining a somewhat personal connection with customers is important, especially as they grow their business horizontally. Even they are subject to the relentless march toward commoditization.
On stage events with all the small snags that come with them are special in a world that is becoming more impersonal by the year.
You've never seen any of their WWDC intros then. Also some regular events had funny (or sometimes cringy) intros. Apple is not devoid of making fun of themselves.
